IMF: US debt crisis threatens world economy

BBC News [UK state media]

IMF managing director Christine Lagarde says failure to raise the US debt ceiling would be a far worse threat to the global economy than the current shutdown. The shutdown is due to a budget standoff between President Barack Obama and Congress. But a worse problem looms: the US will run out of money if there is no agreement to raise the borrowing limit. Ms Lagarde s comments were echoed by the US Treasury...

10/14/13

The Republican Party is paying a steep price for the House Republicans' decision to follow Sen. Ted Cruz s self-destructive crusade to partially shut down the government in a reckless gambit to defund Obamacare. In an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll completed Oct. 9, 70 percent of respondents disapproved of congressional Republicans, while President Obama s rating blipped up a couple of points. Fortunately for the GOP, the bad news for congressional Republicans led some D.C. Democrats to overplay their hand by allowing the partial shutdown to appear more painful than it need be...

'Weil ihnen die Gesundheitsreform nicht passt, legen ein paar Radikale Feuer an den Fundamenten der US-Wirtschaft. Wenn das so weitergeht, wird die ganze Welt es spüren. Dieser Tage schrieb ein angesehener Kolumnist der Zeitung 'Washington Post', dass ihn die Republikaner im US-Repräsentantenhaus an drei Jahre alte Kinder erinnerten, die mit Zündhölzern spielten. Ungehörige Kinder seien das, mit Eltern, die noch nicht einmal in der Lage seien, ihnen Hausarrest zu verpassen. Wie die meisten Vergleiche hinkt auch dieser. Selbst drei Jahre alte Kinder, die einmal einen Zimmerbrand gelegt haben, sind für gewöhnlich lernfähig genug, um das kein zweites Mal zu versuchen. Ganz anders dagegen die Tea-Party-Truppe innerhalb der konservativen Fraktion in der unteren Kammer des US-Parlaments: Die radikal-populistischen Abgeordneten sind unbelehrbar?'

Op-Ed

Two decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union affirmed the United States as the dominant power in the Middle East, a resurgent Russia is seeking ways large and small to fill the vacuum left by the departure of American troops from Iraq and the toppling of U.S. allies in the Arab Spring revolts.

Russia says to push for Mideast free of mass-destruction weapons

Such a move could put Moscow at odds with Washington which announced the conference would be delayed last year. Analysts said it feared the event would be used to criticize its ally Israel, believed to be the region s only nuclear-armed state.

The Arab Spring Three Years On

By Noam Chomsky

One of the grim consequences of US-UK aggression in Iraq was igniting Sunni-Shia conflicts that had been subdued previously, leading to a horror story that is tearing Iraq apart and has spread over the region, with awful and ominous effects.

Dead Zone: The Deeper Poison Beyond the NSA Revelations

By Chris Floyd

The power of unlimited surveillance, as hideous and repulsive and inhuman as it is, still pales next to the greater power which our elites have granted to themselves: to kill, without warning, without
warrant, without trial, without mercy, anyone they choose to kill.

Back in the USSR: The Sovietization of American life

Antiwar.com
by Justin Raimondo

10/04/13

Trojanov was among the prominent signers of an open letter addressed to German Chancellor Angela Merkel protesting NSA surveillance on German soil as an 'historic attack on our democratic, constitutional state.' That is clearly the reason for this Soviet-style harassment by the Obama administration. This latest outrage is part of a disturbing pattern of repression that all points to one ineluctable conclusion: the United States is the Soviet Union of the new millennium, an ideological state with global ambitions that holds itself up as the epitome of 'freedom' and yet is the single most powerful enemy of liberty worldwide...

The NSA witch hunt is on

Tenth Amendment Center
by Andrew Napolitano

10/07/13

While the nation s political class has been fixated on a potential government shutdown in Washington this week, the NSA has continued to spy on all Americans and by its ambiguity and shrewd silence seems to be acknowledging slowly that the scope of its spying is truly breathtaking. The Obama administration is of the view that the NSA can spy on anyone anywhere...
