28,000 “Cash For Gold” Outlets in Italy as Serfs are Forced to Sell

by

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about how the Portuguese citizenry was being forced to sell its gold in order to eat.  It seems that the Italians have now joined this illustrious club.  I mean what do you expect when you allow Goldman Sachs to impose technocrat dictator Mario “Three Card” Monti as your … Read more

NPR Reporter Quits to Focus on Actual Journalism

Great short story here from Politico about Andrea Seabrook and her decision to leave NPR after 14 years in order to actually do some real journalism.  Most recently, Andrea was covering Washington D.C. and as she puts it: “I realized that there is a part of covering Congress, if you’re doing daily coverage, that is … Read more

Back to 19th Century Living in NYC: Bloomberg Proposes “Tenement Sized” Apartments for $2K a Month

by

This story is a bit old so I apologize if you have already seen it.  I somehow missed this when it came out, but it came across my radar in the last couple of days and I think it is significant enough to highlight.  Back in February, 2011 I wrote a piece called “Serf Size Me” and in it I predicted:

Sizes are about to shrink dramatically and prices will go up at the same time.  Food quality will probably decrease as well, which is hard to imagine considering the crap that is sold as food every day.  In any event, I have a suggestion for McDonald’s.  They should just teach us Americans to accept our indentured servitude to the financial oligarchs and roll out a “Serf Size” menu.  People will get to the acceptance stage that much faster as they say, “serf size me!” and then walk away with three fries and a five ounce soda.

Well anyone with a pulse and a budget understands all too well how accurate this prediction has been.  What I find incredibly interesting is Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s latest proposal to construct “micro units,” which are basically tenement sized apartments between 275-300 square feet that will rent for $2,000 a month!  Think I am exaggerating about these being tenement sized?  Well just take these quotes from a CNN article on it:

Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill.  Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt.  Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench.  Care about people’s approval and you will be their prisoner.  Do your work, then step back.  The only path to serenity. – Tao Te Ching It … Read more

Bitcoin: A Way to Fight Back Against the Financial Terrorists?

by

Although I have followed Bitcoin over the years a bit, I am admittedly pretty ignorant on the subject.  What really caught my eye in the last couple of days was an article in Forbes detailing the fact that when the big financial institutions initiated a blockade on Wikileaks, the whistleblowing organization was still able to … Read more

Attention U.S. Military: You are Being Demonized. This is an Extremely Important Article

by

It’s now becoming overt.  The meme emanating rapidly from the mainstream media is that the U.S. military is a threat to the nation!  It sounds very 1984 and backwards, but what isn’t these days.  What really captured my attention is a very clever and dangerous article published by Reuters titled “U.S. Army battling racists within … Read more

I haven’t endorsed anyone for President yet, but the guy that catches my eye more than any other at the moment is Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson.  While people will say a vote for Gary Johnson is a “wasted vote” or a “vote for Obama,” neither of these claims are accurate.  First of all, a “wasted … Read more
