Our good ship Liberty needs to change course

Liberty For All
by George Phillies

01/23/10

Change can be time-consuming. Change can be demanding. Change can be frightening. Sometimes, change can be necessary. … For the last decade, LNC income has been falling at 15% a year in real terms. That’s 12% a year without adjusting for inflation. Over the decade, real LNC income has fallen by nearly three-fourths. No wonder there is less and less money available for candidate and volunteer support...

Indefinite Detention "Defies Common Sense"

By William Fisher

"By committing to hold suspected criminals indefinitely without charge, the Obama has embraced one of the most lawless and un-American policies of the Bush administration, one that turns the most fundamental principles of the Constitution on their head."

Facing Frustrated Voters, More Senators Oppose Bernanke

David Lightman, McClatchy Newspapers: "Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke's prospects for a second term became shakier Friday as two Senate Democrats, furious at his stewardship during the nation's economic crisis, said they'd oppose him."

Block Bernanke, take back the Fed

The Nation
by John Nichols

01/26/10

If the Democratic Party wants to lose — or, to be more precise, wants to lose badly in 2010 and 2012, it need only maintain its current loyalty to the most powerful interests on Wall Street. The United States already has a party of Wall Street. It does not need two. Yet, despite an occasional populist turn (like his current bank bashing), President Obama has with his absurd nominations and even more absurd policies given every indication that he intends to position the Democratic Party closer to corporate interests than all but the most reprehensible Republicans. Forget about Obama’s rhetorical flourishes. As a candidate and as a president, he has too frequently chosen to side with multinational corporations rather than working Americans.”

End Ben Bernanke

The American Conservative
by Patrick J. Buchanan

01/25/10

‘Chairman Bernanke helped the president … steer through some very turbulent times and rough waters,’ said the White House Monday. Fine. But was not Ben in the wheelhouse when we hit the iceberg? And never saw it. In his first two years, did he not preside over an easy money policy that fueled the housing boom that created the housing bubble, the popping of which brought on the crisis from which the good professor has helped to save the republic? If a snoozing camper’s unattended fire sets Yellowstone ablaze, do we single him out for honor for alerting the Park rangers and leading a bucket brigade?

The danger behind the Fed’s exceptional profits

Ludwig von Mises Institute
by Mateusz Machaj

01/28/10

A few days ago, the Fed announced that it had ‘earned’ a record-high amount of money in 2009. Then it turned $46 billion over to the Treasury. Here we are in the midst of a serious recession, with the unemployment rate high, the housing market still in a slump, and the stock market making only small steps toward recovery. In this climate, the Fed is making profits...

Bipartisan Ben Bernanke

The American Conservative
by Sean Scallon

01/30/10

You have to hand it to President Obama. Not only was his State of the Union speech early last week warmly received by the public, but it unleashed a wave of bipartisan sentiment in Congress, especially in the U.S. Senate. What had been had World War I-style battlefield of trench warfare between Republicans and Democrats filled with bile, acrimony and petty minded thinking, suddenly transformed itself last Thursday just a couple of days after Obama’s speech. Hands were reaching across the aisle, old enemies became friends, there was lots of loving and hugging each and even the little child lay down peacefully next to the lion, all to renominate Ben Bernanke to another term as the head of the third Bank of the United States, oh excuse me, the Federal Reserve. Yes the two political parties may have bitter disagreements when it comes to abortion, or climate change, or health care reform, but when it comes to benefiting themselves and the establishment they serve they do know how to come together for a common purpose...

Rubbing Salt in Guantanamo's Wounds: Task Force Announces Indefinite Detentions

"With a stunning lack of sensitivity, President Barack Obama's Guantanamo Review Task Force chose the anniversary of the president's failed promise to close the prison to announce its conclusions regarding the eventual fate of 196 prisoners ... the Task Force said, with no trace of irony, that 'nearly 50' of the men still imprisoned at Guantanamo 'should be held indefinitely without trial under the laws of war.'"

Freedom's Phoenix
by Bill Bonner

01/21/10

The real problem is not a lack of affordable credit. It’s a lack of able buyers. People are not really as rich as they seemed. It was a mistake, in other words; it had to be corrected. But don’t expect mainstream economists, financial commentators, or the feds to understand what is going on. They are lost in their own claptrap theories and corrupt politics. What Wall Street bank will tell clients that the economy is in a depression? What Fed official … or elected politician … will admit that there is nothing they can do — except make the situation worse?
