Paul Anderson has written an interesting piece within the marxist framework, a piece that we hope some marxists will wish to reply to. My own reply to Paul is another attempt by me to look beyond that framework and, indeed, that of the enlightenment as a whole whose roots in turn lie deep within antiquity.

The audio clip from November 5th, 2008 is at the bottom of this post. For those of you who do not know who Peter Schiff is and are curious, let me give you a little background from his Wikipedia page:
Peter D. Schiff is the president of Euro Pacific Capital Inc., a brokerage firm based in Darien, Connecticut. He graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 1987 with a degree in finance and accounting. He was an economic adviser for the Ron Paul campaign in the 2008 Republican Party primaries. In an August 2006 interview Schiff generated much controversy when he repeated his long-held investment thesis: “The United States economy is like the Titanic and I am here with the lifeboat trying to get people to leave the ship …I see a real financial crisis coming for the United States.” On May 16, 2006 in debate on Fox News, Schiff accurately had forecast that the U.S. housing market was a bubble that would soon come to bust. On December 13, 2007 in a Bloomberg interview on the show Open Exchange, Schiff further added that he felt that the crisis would extend to the credit card lending industry.
Of course, here is the video from CNBC that aired on August 28, 2006where Peter Schiff accurately predicts the crisis that we are in now. Art Laffer, who was former President Reagan’s Economic Advisor, bets him that his predictions are false and there will be no economic crash. Oh, how I wish Mr. Laffer was right.

After Bush, Obama must catch up with Russia
10/ 11/ 2008
MOSCOW. (RIA Novosti political commentator Andrei Fedyashin) – George Bush Jr. has managed to cultivate such a strong feeling against his White House in the world and has dented US reputation so badly that any change on Pennsylvania Avenue is like a breath of fresh air.

“the institution must improve its public relations”
Lagarde is obviously trying to help resuscitate the IMF with some kind of makeover. The imperialist ways of the IMF stem simply from the fact that it is largely controlled from Washington and London. There is nothing to stop the G20 itself from raising and administering any bailout fund.
IMF must end its “imperialist” ways-France
Reuters, Sunday November 9 2008 Guardian
SAO PAULO, Nov 9 (Reuters) – Several countries are deeply scarred by the “imperialist” approach taken by International Monetary Fund in past lending packages and the institution must improve its public relations, France said on Sunday. Read the rest of this entry »

“Obviously, how we approach and deal with a country like Iran is not something that we should, you know, simply do in a knee-jerk fashion.” said Obama, reacting in knee-jerk fashion
“Obama, speaking at his first press conference since winning Tuesday’s presidential election, also said the Islamic Republic must stop supporting “terrorist organizations.”
I would suggest that it is Anglo-america which has to stop supporting terrorist organisations.
Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons ‘unacceptable’: Obama

If you’re a financial institution, it has become a little easier to borrow money. But for most of the rest of us, it’s tougher than ever.

For almost two decades, even long after its turn around in 1999, the Russian elites continued to believe in the West, much longer than they ever should have. To that end, Russia refrained from encroaching on the American play ground, Latin America. With the Monroe Doctrine, the US has seen to Latin America, especially to Central America, as it’s personal play ground, where national governments are over thrown as would be and policies are shoved down everyone’s throats as desired. The area was kept hands off by Russia, even while the West continued, driven primarily by the Anglo-Americans, to surround and encapsulate Russia from all sides. Outside of some weapons sales to Venezuela or some nice words to Cuba, Russia was gone from Latin America and with no plans on returning.

Now that the genie is out of the bottle, worldwide economic, political and social events will proceed with the inexorable force of destiny. The forthcoming changes, shifts and breaks with the past that are delineated below do concern the unsavory business of WHAT, positively, will not be brought into the future. This is of critical importance. Why? Because those who do not know, and understand, and heed history, are always, always forced to repeat it.
