The New American Century: Cut Short By 92 Years
By Mike Whitney
02/10/08 ‘ICH” — – America’s time as a superpower is coming to an end. The financial crisis was just the last straw.

That’s not something that can be easily forgiven. Read the rest of this entry »

RISE OF THE REST
The Challenges of the New World Order Der Spiegel
By Wolfgang Nowak
America is no longer up to shouldering the world’s crises. But who is going to take its place?

Only a common future — a “change through rapprochement” and not a “clash of futures” can carry us forward. Read the rest of this entry »

Bailout Bedlam: Robbing the Taxpayers to Save the Banks
by Ellen Brown
Global Research, October 2, 2008
“Doesn’t this seem like lunacy to you? The consequences of it are unbelievably bad in terms of public intrusion into the private sector. Is anybody thinking there? It’s too late, it’s not going to make any difference, and it’s aggravating as hell when there’s a better idea and you can’t even get it in play.” Former Treasury Secretary John O’Neill in an October 1 interview with Bloomberg on the bank bailout plan Read the rest of this entry »

By Mike Whitney
