America's Ruling Class: The People Who Brought You TARP, Bailouts And Trillion-Dollar Deficits

If there is one article you must read this Winter, it is Angelo Codevilla's "America's Ruling Class -- And The Perils of Revolution." With good reason, it has been likened to Karl Marx's "Communist Manifesto," but it turns Marxoid class theory on its head: the real enemy of the People are not the capitalists, but the politicians, the bureaucrats, the corporate insiders and their apologists in the media. Our class enemies are the people behind TARP and all the ongoing bank bailouts.

Assistant Secretary of State Jeff Feltman said he had met civil society activists and opposition leaders as well as members of the government, which is under pressure from protesters demanding it be purged of ex-ruling party members.

Egypt Unrest on the Radar, but Not Yet a Factor for Oil Market

Oil prices, so far, have not reacted to news of protesters in the streets of Cairo, but oil traders are keeping a wary eye on the political situation there. Sparked by unrest in Tunisia, which ousted that country's government, Egyptians have taken to the streets in the biggest protests in three decades. Thousands of protesters Wednesday defied a government ban on protests against President Hosni Mubarak's rule, and police fired rubber bullets, tear gas, and arrested demonstrators.

Ten times safe level of lead in coffee machines

The Institute of Environmental Medicine at Stockholm’s Karolinska Institute reports that the water in a common coffee vending machine here has up to 10 times the safe level of lead.

According to Swedish Television News, the lead is coming from brass components of one particular model made by the De Jong Duke company of the Netherlands. They represent around 1500 of the 100,000 coffee machines in Sweden, or about 1.5 percent.

On its website, the company says it is not aware of the problem elsewhere, and that replacements for the brass components are available.

Swedes are heavy coffee drinkers, at three cups a day sixth in the world in per capital consumption.


Bambuser blocked in Egypt (Live video site)

The Swedish live video streaming site Bambuser says its service has been blocked in Egypt.

The site, which provides live video from mobile phones and webcams, says the interruption began Tuesday, shortly after the start of unprecedented nationwide demonstratons against the 30 year rule of President Hosni Mubarak. Måns Adler, who founded the site in 2007, tells AFP he is convinced the Egyptian government is behind the blockage.

"The Internet provider is probably the one that can deny access to different websites and services," he says, "but in this case we believe that the Egyptian government has asked the Internet providers to shut down a range of services."

Zeitgeist Addendum-Clear Explanation of Modern Monetary System and How It Enslaves Us

In the view of The Movement, the world today has become very detached from the physical world, with techniques of production and distribution that have no relationship to the environment. Our use of a profit based, “growth” driven monetary system has become one of the greatest destroyers of the natural world, not to mention sustainable human values. It is important to understand that the entire global economy requires “cyclical consumption” to operate, which means that money must constantly be circulating. Thus, new goods and services must be constantly introduced regardless of the state of the environment and actual human necessity. This "perpetual" approach has a fatal flaw, for resources as we know it are simply not infinite.

A Ticket To Hell

Oh and you can skip all those cops coming to all those funerals: they no longer represent the public: Not anymore! Besides if your commanders had any brains at all, they might realize that several hundred cops showing up from all over the nation might be a really bad idea-especially if there are some out there that just want just to kill more cops? That uniform that has been used and abused to terrorize the population makes a really easy target for those that are not pleased with what "the cops of today" seem to think is their "right" by virtue of the nameless, badge-less uniform with body-armor for additional intimidation.

The Wall Street Financial Crisis: A Mistake or a Crime?

Yet there were truth-tellers out there who were largely ignored. Investors like Warren Buffett compared the new exotic financial instruments to weapons of mass destruction— financial nuclear bombs.

Even guru of the right Ayn Rand had warned in Atlas Shrugged about greed destroying her beloved free market: “When you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you—when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice—you may know that your society is doomed.”
