"If the US government enforced its banking laws like it did its park regulations, we wouldn't be

I agree with everything he said about Barack Obama. However, a small point.
I'm not crazy about the idea of "Ron Paul" and "OWS" being used in a way that insinuates they're allies. In many ways, his ideology is the antithesis of the movement.
"Tax the rich?" No. No way. All Taxes = Evil.
"Regulate the banks?" Regulation is the government blocking the invisible hand of the free market.
"Get big money money out of politics?" Paul argued for unlimited donations BEFORE Citizen's United.
And look, I know. I know. It's sad that you gotta choose between a guy who'll let you protest and use your constitution-given right to free speech while throwing your ideology in complete reverse and trying to live out Ayn Rand's version of what American should look like.
...And a guy who delivers weak, pathetic tweeks to your ideology while allowing the police to crush you, and moving us, (at least as far as civil liberties are concerned) further in the Bush/Cheney territory.
As Arianna Huffington remarked in a recent interview with AlJazeera when asked about whether she would vote for Obama again this year she said yes and added (paraphrasing): "In 2008 we were promised change, in 2012 we must choose between the lesser of two evils."

I remember when the decision came down (late 80s?) that the burned out license plate light, etc could now be legally used as ruse to search for drugs (and later confiscate to sell to buy more police equipment) that it was a huge deal that would never be rolled back. It has morphed into the modern fascist tactics used by today's pigs.

Catching snippets of the GOP debates/freak shows I'm more appalled by the audience reaction to their lunacy than their own detachment from humanity regarding their positions.

The Einstazgruppen were special detachments formed for the sole purpose of murdering Jews and would follow the Wehrmacht (army) into the occupied territories, while Dachau was the very first concentration camp and one of the very few on German soil, at first used for political prisoners and later high profile prisoners.Himmler was the head of the SS, of which the intelligence division, or "Sicherheitsdienst" was called the SD)

The Era of “Debt Capitalism” Has Come to an End
by Ralph A Stamm on Wednesday, 25 January 2012
After 40 years of economic growth based on debt, the era of “debt capitalism” has come to an end, says Wolfgang Streeck. The Managing Director of the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies in Cologne gave a remarkable interview (in German) last week that I would like to share with you, in advance of the World Economic Forum’s meeting in Davos starting today.
Economies must grow in order to increase welfare. This has been the basic requirement for capitalist societies since the industrial revolution. Yet the last time Western societies experienced real economic growth was in the decades following WWII, says Streeck, in his account of recent economic history. Since the 1970s, when this period ended and economic growth slowed, governments started to print money in order to create the illusion of increasing salaries and greater welfare. In reality, however, income stagnated.
When decision-makers realized that high inflation rates could no longer be sustained, they looked for new recipes to keep the economy growing. In the 1980s, they found a solution in increased government spending based on public debt. Ronald Reagan was the unlikely representative of this policy.

Here's a great quote I happened upon today that I think everyone here will like:
"As this system is the only form and principle of government by which liberty can be preserved, and the only one that can embrace all the varieties of a great extent of country, it necessarily follows, that to have the representation real, the election must be real; and that where the election is a fiction, the representation is a fiction also. Like will always produce like."

"We live in a dirty and dangerous world...There are some things the general public does not need to know and shouldn't. I believe democracy flourishes when the government can take legitimate steps to keep its secrets and when the press can decide whether to print what it knows."

The Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944, with its system of fixed exchange rates between currencies and support for countries that ran into balance of payments difficulties, together with the Marshall Plan (1947-50) for the economic reconstruction of Europe which followed it, laid the foundations for a quarter century of capitalist expansion the like of which had not been seen. Neither before nor since has there been a period where the global economy has grown as rapidly and the living standards of the working class, at least in the major capitalist countries, advanced as much.
But the Bretton Woods system did not overcome the essential contradictions of the capitalist economy. In fact, the very economic expansion it helped to produce brought them to the surface and eventually led to the demise of the regulated post-war order.
It is necessary to emphasise this point in the face of claims by proponents of Keynesian regulation that there can be a return to the stability of the post-war period and the social reformist policies which accompanied it, if only agreement can be reached on some kind of revived Bretton Woods Agreement. The advocates of this program, however, never examine why the original system collapsed.
The history of this breakdown involves two interconnected processes—the development of an increasingly global system of production and finance, and the relative decline of the US within the Bretton Woods order and its move towards a new regime based on the free movement of capital in order to maintain its position of global hegemony…

I watched "Missing" again tonight. Last time I watched was when it was originally released in 1982.
It's the chilling story of the torture-death of an American (with State Dept knowledge and complicity) during the American backed coup in Chile in Sept 11, 1973, when the democratically elected President Allende was replaced by Dictator Auguste Pinochet, ushering in two decades of brutal repression and enforcement of NeoLiberal Milton Friedman Chicago School of Economics "reforms", some of which still cripple Chile today - for instance the privatization of the school system which has led to student occupations of the school buildings, nation-wide street marches and police riots.
It's a chilling story. It could happen here, now that the American "Homeland" has been declared part of the international battlefield by our Esteemed Congress and our Imperial Presidency.
I was a student at UC Berkeley when Governor Reagan declared martial law and brought in the troops. Most of them were our age - they joined the National Guard to avoid being drafted to fight in Vietnam. So as military occupations go it was relatively mild. They sure weren't as brutal as the Alameda County Sheriffs - same thugs who routinely brutalized the Oakland Occupation recently. Regardless it was chilling to have a curfew, from something like 9 PM to 6 AM. Anyone on the streets at those hours was subject to brutalization without provocation, and many people suffered injuries. That was then. This is now.
I strongly suggest everyone watch Missing. It's not easy to watch. Make sure you've got 2 hours and time to reflect afterwards. Then think about the Indefinite Detention Provision of the NDAA that allows the American military to take people into custody here in the US and what the implications would be to have our streets occupied by American troops. Or Blackwater type mercenaries hired by "our" government.

....after you posted it a few days ago and derived more out of the movie than I had when it was first released. We know so much more about the direct involvement by rogue elements of our country and the Friedmanites using the opportunity to force their austere and untested economic theories onto a naive populace of a sovereign nation.
The movie should be an icon for R-Wing economic incompetence and yes,everyone should watch it.
The following night after watching Missing I sat down and watched "A Farewell to Arms" based on the book written by Ernest Hemingway. The movie was made in 1956 and the fictional story is about an American volunteer-soldier who drives an ambulance for the Italian Army during WW1. At some point it occurred to me that the American in the story was a metaphor for American ham fisted,knuckle dragging foreign policy. At best our nation seems to be naive enough to think that we can take possession of anything,americanize it,possess its very spirit,and from the goodness of our hearts we spread our exceptionalism onto the populace. At worst we are the neighborhood bully that believes that our exceptionalism is the savior of the world......wether the world desires it or not.
However the American 'Leftenant wants to create this utopian world for himself unencumbered by the war that rages around him and destroying the lives of those around him while leaving him the opportunity to walk away and onto the rest of his life, scarcely harmed with bravado intact.
Thanks for the post. :^)
'Talk to the hand'
The last remark by Jack Lemmon (Ed Horman, father of Charles) as the movie ends struck home.
As he was passing thru the gate to board the flight back to the US, two or three US Embassy personnel were there, "seeing him off", and he swore when he got back to the states he would sue all of them (which he did).
He said (paraphrase): "Thank God that in the US we still put people like you in jail."
Of course his suit was dismissed. None of the Americans complicit in the coup ever went to jail.
Just like Bush, Cheney, the Banksters, etc.
It could be a very depressing movie. But I think we should take it as a warning instead.
Glad you watched. You're welcome for the post. Pass it on ..
Your remarks about American foreign policy are spot on. We continue the same imperialist strategy that the Spaniards used in conquering the "new world" - invade, occupy, repress, install puppet regime, exploit.
Contrast the Chinese approach. Forge business ties. Mutual benefit.

India Factory Workers Revolt, Kill Company President
"Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people." ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
I was at an Indian owned (former USS) mill in Baytown, TX. back, late 2006, when they managed to kill three employees in a week. The one guy (an undocumented, 1099 Mexican guy I liked) was in shock from being crushed, the plant manager was pissed because he couldn't understand why we had to stop the plasma- torch line, while the balance of the mill was working, totally oblivious... uninformed. It took 35-40 minutes to get a paramedic in. And my buddy almost got fired for bypassing SOP (calling a supervisor to drop by at his leisure to ascertain if outside intervention was required, then call the rents to contact 911) to roll the damn ambulance. And so on and so forth. It was my welcome to our future... Thank GOD Obama's saved us all!
