Signs Economic Commentary for 1 October 2007

Donald Hunt

Summary: The story of the third quarter of 2007 was the fall of the dollar to record lows and the rise in the price of gold and oil, not only in dollars but also in euros. In essence ALL currencies went down, the dollar just fell more than the others. Much of this can be attributed to the sub-prime meltdown in the United States and to the threat of expanded war in Western Asia.

Events in the third quarter have spooked even the institutional investors and the mainstream media who, until now, viewed the world economy through rose colored glasses. I would like to welcome our friends in the mainstream financial media to reality! Those of us who have been warning people for years about the danger of a dollar currency collapse, about the unsustainable levels of debt in the United States, and about the housing bubble now have a lot more company.

The media anesthetizes our minds to make us embrace war as freedom, and fraud as fact

Greg Felton

"Things like... the Russian purges and deportations, the dropping of the atom bombs on Japan, can indeed be defended, but only by arguments which are too brutal for most people to face, and which do not square with the professed aims of the political parties... Political language - and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists - is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." George Orwell, from Politics and the English Language, 1946



In his famous novel 1984, George Orwell introduces us to "Newspeak," the pseudo-language by which the Ingsoc (English Socialist) government of Oceania, led by Big Brother, sabotages independent thought and imposes a repressive conformity on the public.



"The purpose of Newspeak," wrote Orwell, "was to make all other modes of thought impossible. It was intended that when Newspeak had been adopted once and for all, and Oldspeak [standard English] forgotten, a heretical thought... would be literally unthinkable."



For example, in Newspeak, "liberty and equality," are reduced to "crimethink"; "free" only has the sense of "without" as in "free from" something; "dissent" is "thoughtcrime." Syme, a senior editor of the 11th edition of the Newspeak Dictionary proudly describes the purpose behind this linguistic destruction: "The whole climate of thought will be different. In fact there will be no thought, as we understand it now. Orthodoxy means not thinking - not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness."

Few days ago, I had a long e-mail message from someone with the "Jews for Peace" group. The message starts: "I am very annoyed by your comparison of Israel with Nazi Germany ... There is no Auschwitz in Palestine, and the Palestinians have not experienced a holocaust. Palestinians are free to leave any time they wish." I do not know anything about the group, but a response is in order:

Adding to the department's woes is word from federal prosecutors that they are investigating claims that homicide detectives tortured suspects into confessing to murders that landed them on death row in the 1980s.

Pro-Western parties in Ukraine narrowly defeated their Moscow-backed rivals in snap parliamentary elections Sunday, exit polls indicated, but the apparent victory was unlikely to end months of political unrest.

Four exit polls released after voting in the former Soviet republic gave President Viktor Yushchenko's Our Ukraine party and the allied Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc a razor-thin lead over parties backing Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych.

KOLKATA, India - At least five people were killed and more than 25 wounded when three bombs exploded on Sunday in India's restive northeastern state of Assam, which has seen a spurt in separatist violence, police said.

Those killed and wounded were non-Assamese people living in the oil- and tea-rich state wracked by an insurgency that wants a separate homeland for ethnic Assamese, a senior police officer told Reuters by telephone.

Right-Wing Rag: Attack on Iran Said To Be Imminent; Illegal sanctions considered

Shifting Targets: The Administration's plan for Iran.

Seymour Hersh

2007-10-01 13:38:00

In a series of public statements in recent months, President Bush and members of his Administration have redefined the war in Iraq, to an increasing degree, as a strategic battle between the United States and Iran. "Shia extremists, backed by Iran, are training Iraqis to carry out attacks on our forces and the Iraqi people," Bush told the national convention of the American Legion in August. "The attacks on our bases and our troops by Iranian-supplied munitions have increased. . . . The Iranian regime must halt these actions. And, until it does, I will take actions necessary to protect our troops." He then concluded, to applause, "I have authorized our military commanders in Iraq to confront Tehran's murderous activities."

Cindy Sheehan: Pro-Democracy Means Anti-Fascism

"The world is watching the people of Burma take to the streets to demand their freedom, and the American people stand in solidarity with these brave individuals," - George W. Bush

Watching the pro-democracy marches in Burma both inspires and sickens me. I am inspired by seeing thousands of red-robed monks leading the demonstrations and sickened by the violence they are being met with by the military.

Seeing the images of the monks and others being beaten reminds me of the Democratic Convention in 1968 where Chicago police beat the living daylights out of demonstrators who were there to try and force the party to come closer to the budding anti-war movement. It didn't work. Instead of wonderful pro-peace candidate, Eugene McCarthy, the party nominated Johnson's VP, Hubert Humphrey. We know what happened next: Nixon. After last night's Democratic "debate" I am terrified and assured that the Democrats will have another pro-war nominee.

Yes - "A Coup has Occurred" & "The Answer is Blow'in in the Wind"

Jim Kirwan

2007-09-28 20:38:00

In his clearly written article, Daniel Ellsberg points out many of the obvious things that others have been trying to unscramble now for at least the last six years. Line by line he wrestles with the reality of the facts as most have come to see them in this situation. What seems to be missing here is the poverty of both attitudes and motives that allowed this to happen in the first instance. With every passing moment these differences become more necessary, to any possible solution, to all that the Ellsberg article so clearly delineates.

For generations now people with real experience, individuals that have actually lived their lives in that crucible that molds experience and courage have been missing-in-action when it counts the most. These traits are necessary, not because they are exceptional: but because only with these capacities can this nation or any person in it-- even begin to overturn--not only the nightmare we are living but the one to come as well.

JERUSALEM - Israel releases 87 jailed Palestinians on Monday in a bid to shore up President Mahmoud Abbas against rival Hamas Islamists and ahead of a U.S.-sponsored conference on Palestinian statehood.

The prisoners, all members of Abbas's embattled Fatah or smaller secular factions, will be bussed out of the desert stockade of Kitsyot by 7 a.m. (0500 GMT) to Israel's boundaries with the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the Prisons Service said.


Comment: Let us keep in mind that Abbas and Fatah are puppets for the Israeli government. So they are actually doing no favors for the Palestinians. Just trying to have Abbas be seen in a favorable light.

The Canadian dollar closed above parity Friday for the first time in almost 31 years, as the U.S. greenback continued its dramatic fall against major world currencies.

According to Bank of Canada data, the loonie closed at $1.0052 US, up two-thirds of a cent from Thursday's close.

Expressed another way, it means that a U.S. dollar is now worth a little less than 99.5 cents in Canadian money.

It sounds like science fiction but it's true: A killer amoeba living in lakes enters the body through the nose and attacks the brain where it feeds until you die.

Even though encounters with the microscopic bug are extraordinarily rare, it's killed six boys and young men this year. The spike in cases has health officials concerned, and they are predicting more cases in the future.

"This is definitely something we need to track," said Michael Beach, a specialist in recreational waterborne illnesses for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Thou shalt not smoke: Smokers Would Pay for Democrats new Health Bill

WASHINGTON - Congressional Democrats have chosen an unlikely source to pay for the bulk of their proposed $35 billion increase in children's health coverage: people with relatively little money and education.

The program expansion passed by the House and Senate last week would be financed with a 156 percent increase in the federal cigarette tax, taking it to $1 per pack from the current 39 cents. Low-income people smoke more heavily than do wealthier people in the United States, making cigarette taxes a regressive form of revenue.
