An announced recovery

Ayn R. Key
by Ayn R. Key

07/31/09

The economy continues to decay, but people in various media and government outlets were cheering the fact that the economy only shrank by one percent in the prior quarter, unlike the over six percent shrinkage in previous quarters. That the economy continued to get worse is considered good news because it got less worse instead of more worse. Some, such as Bernanke, conclude that the economy will recover by the end of the year. Bernanke was saying the same thing back at the beginning of the year though, so the only real strong point he has is consistency. While unable to foresee the recession he sees that it will soon be over. Naturally anyone familiar with Austrian Economics can poke holes in the pronouncements of recovery...

Obama’s secret police

AntiWar.Com
by Justin Raimondo

07/31/09

The indispensable Amy Goodman has the scoop: The Seattle Port Militarization Resistance (SPMR) group Washington state thought that their listserv coordinator, who went by the name ‘John Jacob,’ was one of them: a dedicated antiwar activist and self-described anarchist. They trusted him, they put him in a key position, they befriended him — and then they found out that he was a government informant. His real name: John Towery …. He claimed to be a civilian employee at Washington state’s Ft. Lewis: in reality, he was and is a functionary of the force protection unit, i.e. military personnel. His job: spying on the antiwar movement...

Torture report a “security risk”

Independent [UK]

07/30/09

Britain’s national security and the lives of its citizens will be put at risk if the High Court publishes its findings on what happened to former terror detainee Binyam Mohamed at the hands of the CIA. That was the effect of letters from the US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, and CIA officials, two judges were told in London yesterday. The letters warned that the US, even under the new Obama administration, will review its intelligence-sharing agreement with the UK if the court releases seven brief paragraphs about Mr Mohamed’s treatment into the public domain.
