By Mitch Gurney November 20, 2010 We pick the bones of the power elite a great deal here at this site and often what we discuss is not very positive news. We would be remiss in our duties as journalist however not to share good news when it happens. And it is appropriate to highlight ... Read More »

For politicians compromise is often how things get done but sometimes their deals lead to the public getting shafted. This all depends of course on ones perspective on who wins and who loses. Compromising isn’t a bad thing and doesn’t always produce negative outcomes but sometimes in politics it does and a good case in point is the banking deregulation in 1998...

FORD is a four Letter Word is yet another example of the globalization strategies among America’s multi-national corporations (MNC) that are making business decisions no longer rooted in country first. As the title indicates the article is about Ford’s global strategies and in April of 2009 I wrote an article about American auto companies Moving jobs south of the Border. I’d like to point out that while we are singling out Ford here their global manufacturing strategy is consistent with most American MNC’s.

If you are learning about this crisis for the first time, understanding what is actually broken here is very important. For those interested in gaining a better understanding of this situation I encourage reviewing a five part series of links that I highlight here that do an excellent job in explaining this crisis on a basic 101 level by giving a brief explanation that includes charts...

By most MSM accounts the foreclosure crisis is nothing more than robo-signing of potentially flawed foreclosure documents without reading them. But as some already realize there is much more to this story and it is far more complex than we are being told. Homeowners can only be foreclosed and evicted from their homes by the person or institution that actually has the loan paper, only the note-holder has legal standing to ask a court to foreclose and evict…

The Federal Government has announced that their votes will not make an iota of difference, and many of those voters are so disgusted that it's extremely likely they will not bother to vote at all. Californian's and the nation as a whole can thank the Obama Administration for any seats that are lost in California to the GOP. Making such an announcement this close to an election was political suicide for Democrats in California as the bulk of those prospective voters would have also voted for a straight Democratic ticket and the GOP is partying right now at Obama's political stupidity. In essence, the Federal Government is helping to throw the California elections in order to pursue their authoritarian agenda and guarantee that ballot measures such as this one are not brought back up in California, or even more importantly, in other states as well.

By Mitch Gurney October 16, 2010 In a current political ad in her bid to unseat California Democrat Senator Boxer Republican Carly Fiorina’s political strategists effectively tap into voter anger with both parties: Everybody is hurting, Republicans, Democrats, Independents, your party doesn’t matter anymore. It’s fixing this mess. Boxer’s been there for 28 years and ... Read More »

this election season is no different from any of the others and as usual the stakes are high. As our country falls into an avalanche of more spin and deepening financial disaster all our candidates can manage to do is what they have always done; fault the other guy for all that ails us and offer up empty, worthless 30 second sound bites that are supposed to serve as solutions and plans to fix the mess. But we have seen this many times before and yet here we are once again being herded into making choices between the lesser of two evils. Our elections are rigged we know it yet do nothing about it. The article explains it this way:

There are 19 statistics that indicate America's economy may never recover and it is evident that Corporate America has delivered a death knell to our Middle-class and the entire economy. The facts you will read in this post represents irrefutable evidence that Corporate America has been busy dismantling our economy for years and they knew that it would result in the utter destruction of our economy. (Corporate America could not have done this without the tacit approval and direct help from our Congress and Presidency.) Businesses and corporations insist that they had a duty to increase profits for their shareholders, even if it came at the expense of our economic destruction and significantly reduced our national security. There is also compelling evidence that a huge amount of this "deindustrialization" and dismantling of our economy gained momentum during President Bush's criminal Presidency, and I will vividly illustrate how these actions have significantly imperiled our national security.
