Suddenly, the banks all agree: monetarism doesn't work and governments need to ramp up spending

Something unusual happened over the summer. Deutsche Bank, Barclays, HSBC, Credit Suisse, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America Merrill Lynch all published notes to investors that said something similar: Central bank monetary policy isn't working anymore and now is the time for governments to turn on their money spigots, running deficits if need be. It is the opposite of what we are used to hearing from bank analysts. These people are, after all, bankers. They are supposed to be apostles of Milton Friedman, the fighter pilots of capitalism. In the traditional banker view, governments only get in the way, budgets are for balancing, and spending is for cutting. But the 2008 ...
$1 Trillion Spent on US Police State Since 9/11 — If they ‘Hated Our Freedom,’ They Must Love Us Now

Never let a tragedy go unused. This mantra of the State is as strong today as it was the day after 9/11.As 9/11 was used to invade and occupy Iraq and Afghanistan – securing a geopolitical foothold in the region like never before – civil rights were dismantled and energies were devoted to the development of a massive domestic surveillance state that Stasi Germany could only dream of.Indeed, 9/11 served as the perfect pretext for carrying out the goals of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) – headed by Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and other purveyors of U.S. military hegemony.In a policy document called Rebuilding America’s Defenses published exactly one year ...

Butler County, AL — (RT) An Alabama pastor caused controversy at a local high school football game, saying players who don’t stand for the US national anthem should be shot. His remarks come in the wake of US sports stars’ protests against police brutality.Pastor Allen Joyner made the remarks as he addressed the crowd at a Friday night football game at McKenzie High School in Butler County.“If you don’t want to stand for the national anthem, you can line up over there by the fence and let our military personnel take a few shots at you since they’re taking shots for you,” the announcer said at the game, according to Denise Crowley-Whitfield who posted what ...

A US politician who voted to overturn universal helmet laws has died in a motorcycle crash. Michigan state lawmaker Peter Pettalia was killed in a collision with a pick-up truck which turned left into his lane on a motorway on Monday. He was wearing head protection at the time. Republican Mr Pettalia, a well-known advocate for motorcyclists’ rights, was instrumental in repealing universal helmet laws in Michigan in 2012. He successfully voted to overturn the legal requirement for all motorcycle riders over the age of 20 to wear helmets. Michigan is now one of 28 states where motorcyclists do not have to wear helmets. Mr Pettalia chaired the House Committee on Transportation and ...

There is a well-documented history of the U.S. government supplying weapons and arms to both friends and foe for political purposes and for profit. In addition to publicly known global arms deals to U.S. political allies like Israel and Saudi Arabia, revelations about the rise of ISIS indicate that U.S. arms and military trainees have been a critical factor in the rise of the terror group. From 2006 to 2011 the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms ran a gun smuggling operation into Mexico to ostensibly dismantle Mexican drug gangs, accomplishing the precise opposite, however, in what has affectionately become known as Fast and Furious. Further back in time we have covert operations ...

I have been following Hillary and Bill Clinton's health issues since the 2016 Presidential campaign began. Both are clearly very ill, as seen in every appearance they have made. Bill looks like a corpse these days and exhibits every sign of a person who has AIDS, with his lifestyle this is likely the case. Hillary doesn't seem to be any healthier, with massive coughing fits during speeches, freeze-ups where she just stands silent for several seconds and is unaware of her environment, apparent lapses in memory, and needing help for such simple tasks as getting out of her van. Hillary's motorcade van now comes complete with a wheelchair and lift, as well as an occasional ...

During this election cycle in the United States the issues cited and heralded as the ‘most important’ are, security and prosperity. Both candidates for president are using the same rhetoric and both claim they will bring security and great prosperity to us all – if they are elected. Not to despair, Vice Presidential candidate Mike Pence this week reminded supporters in a speech that the Republican platform was entirely pro-life and inferred that more conservative judges will be chosen under a Trump administration. Conservative appointments in the Supreme Court may be a veiled reference to encourage legislation to defend traditional marriage that will not be overturned by a ...

More insanity from EU governments. Instead of doing the sensible thing, which is to stem the tide of Muslim so-called “refugees” and “migrants” into their countries, EU governments resort to silly methods to prevent the sexual molestation of their women, such as: ◾Classes to teach the “migrants” that the proper way to treat European women — their hosts — is not to rape them; ◾“Don’t Touch Me” bracelets for girls to wear; and ◾Magic temporary tattoos to protect girls from being molested in public pools. The German federal police have come up with another brilliant idea — that women ditch high heels for ...
Your Money or Your Life: What’s Behind the Latest Government Scam to Rob You Blind?

“The fact is that the government, like a highwayman, says to a man: Your money, or your life. And many, if not most, taxes are paid under the compulsion of that threat. The government does not, indeed, waylay a man in a lonely place, spring upon him from the road side, and, holding a pistol to his head, proceed to rifle his pockets. But the robbery is none the less a robbery on that account; and it is far more dastardly and shameful.”—Lysander Spooner, American abolitionist and legal theorist If a cop wrongfully attacks you, you cannot fight back. If a SWAT team wrongfully raids your home, you cannot defend yourself. If a highway patrol officer wrongfully takes your money or ...
Ban Ki Moon disappointed in world leaders

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says he’s disappointed by many world leaders who care more about retaining power than improving the lives of their people — and can’t understand why Syria is being held hostage to “the destiny” of one man, President Bashar Assad. Nearing the end of his 10 years at the helm of the United Nations, Ban spoke frankly about the state of the world and his successes, failures and frustrations as U.N. chief in a wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press. Ban is the public face of the organization but he said that in private leaders see a very different and much tougher side to him. “People say I have been quiet, and I have not ...

Dick Tracy seems to be turning into Fearless Fosdick right before our eyes. James Comey, we’re talking about here. Director of the vaunted FBI. Dick Tracy was introduced to comic strip fans in 1931. He was a square-jawed, tough, fearless, incorruptible cop, created by cartoonist Chester Gould. Then, in 1942, cartoonist Al Capp created a parody of Dick Tracy, Fearless Fosdick. He was a square-jawed Tracy look-alike — but a clueless bumbler. Comey, a nominal Republican appointed by President Obama to head the nation’s premier law enforcement agency, was initially hailed as the real-life embodiment of Dick Tracy. Now, after the Hillary Clinton email probe, critics are ...
As Marijuana Prohibition Winds Down, What Will Control Freaks Ban Next? [Full Thread]

It isn’t enough to end just one restrictive law, we have to disempower the prohibitionists. Marijuana "does not meet the criteria for currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, there is a lack of accepted safety for its use under medical supervision, and it has a high potential for abuse," the Drug Enforcement Administration sniffed in an August public announcement refusing to consider easing restrictions on the stuff. The announcement seemed to deliberately miss the point since a majority of Americans favor legalizing marijuana for fun, not just medicine. That the feds are fighting a rear-guard action on the issue is apparent from the fact that half ...

There is no easy explanation for why some people commit crimes and others don't. Similarly, there's no easy answer to the question of why some people end up in jails and prisons while others do not. It's a mathematical reality that the American criminal justice system disproportionately punishes poor people and black people for the same crimes as wealthier and white people. But at the same time, the population of people who end up in prison do share some traits. And scientists have now traced one common criminal trait to specific genes. Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) is wildly overrepresented in prisons. Take a crowd of 100 people of the street, and chances are ...

We sleep in separate beds because he`s always telling me he knows I`m a lesbian and my varicose veins and big bottom turn him off!

WASHINGTON—Expressing regret over its reckless decision to infect the Democratic presidential nominee, the virus causing Hillary Clinton’s pneumonia was reportedly terrified Monday after remembering what the Clintons were capable of. “Oh shit, what the hell was I thinking—you don’t get on the wrong side of these people,” said the infectious agent, which became increasingly worried while recalling just how far the Clintons were willing to go to get what they wanted, as well as what often happened to those who dared to cross the powerful politicians. “Everybody knows you never mess with the Clintons. These people won’t hesitate to absolutely crush you, ...
Motherless babies possible as scientists create live offspring without need for female egg

Motherless babies could be on the horizon after scientists discovered a method of creating offspring without the need for a female egg. The landmark experiment by the University of Bath rewrites 200 years of biology teaching and could pave the way for a baby to be born from the DNA of two men. It was always thought that only a female egg could spark the changes in a sperm required to make a baby, because an egg forms from a special kind of cell division in which just half the number of chromosomes are carried over. Sperm cells form in the same way, so that when a sperm and egg meet they form a full genetic quota, with half our DNA coming from our mother and half from our father. But now ...

Speaking to 1,000 of the overprivileged at an LGBT fundraiser, where the chairs ponied up $250,000 each and Barbra Streisand sang, Hillary Clinton gave New York’s social liberals what they came to hear. “You could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?” smirked Clinton to cheers and laughter. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it.” They are “irredeemable,” but they are “not America.” This was no verbal slip. Clinton had invited the press in to cover the LGBT gala at Cipriani Wall Street where the cheap seats went for $1,200. And she had tried out her new lines ...

One of the US’s most well-known scientists has warned that Hillary Clinton may have been poisoned by Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Bennet Omalu, the famous pathologist who discovered chronic traumatic encephalopathy in the brains of deceased American football players, made the disturbing suggestion on Twitter. ‘I must advise the Clinton campaign to perform toxicologic analysis of Ms Clinton’s blood,’ he wrote. ‘It is possible she is being poisoned.’ Then, in a second tweet, he added: ‘I do not trust Mr Putin and Mr Trump. With those two all things are possible.’ Bennet Omalu @bennetomalu9168 I must advice the Clinton campaign to perform ...

Billy looks like he's not long for this world! In an in-depth interview with Charlie Rose that aired Monday night, former president Bill Clinton addressed concerns over Hillary Clinton’s diagnosis of pneumonia, saying there was “nothing more to know” about the candidate’s health and even questioning the fitness of her opponent. “I have talked to her doctor, who is extremely competent and who has been in touch with all the people who help her, you know, with all other things over the years,” Clinton told Rose on Monday night. “There is just nothing there. All of her health indicators are good. She’s very strong. She’s exercised a lot. And ...

The Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area exaggerates the costs of marijuana legalization in Colorado while ignoring the benefits.During a debate while running for re-election in 2014, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper was asked whether voters in his state had been "reckless" when they approved marijuana legalization two years earlier. "To a certain extent you could say it was reckless," he replied.Last May, after repeatedly saying he would reverse legalization if he had "a magic wand," Hickenlooper told the Los Angeles Times, "If I had that magic wand now, I don't know if I would wave it.
