Newly Released Watergate Wiretap List Raises Questions On ’72 Break-In

“Chairman of the Democratic National Committee in 1972, Larry O’Brien has long been said to be the target of the Nixon White House ‘plumbers,’ the off-the-books squad of political dirty-tricksters, break-in artists and wiretappers arrested in the Watergate office building on June 17, 1972.  But O’Brien’s name is not on the list of bugging targets released Monday by the National Archives and Records Administration, on order of Chief Judge Royce Lamberth of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. And that throws a wrench into generally accepted answer to the affair’s central question: What were the burglars doing in the Watergate?”

The Resident: Why Gov’t Consolidates Media

The Resident: Why Gov’t Consolidates Media

“The Telecommunications Act of 1996 was supposed to the broadcast market to competition, saving the American public from monopolies. In reality, the Act opened the door for massive deregulation and media conglomeration. It accomplished this by way of the FCC not enforcing the rules it set forth. Today, we see companies like Sinclair Broadcasting gobbling up huge broadcast market shares. And the FCC continues to try to allow for even more conglomeration. We have an oligopoly in the American media, and it’s poised to get even worse. The Resident (aka Lori Harfenist) discusses.”

Faking It: How the Media Manipulates the World into War [2012]

Faking It: How the Media Manipulates the World into War [2012]

“As the US and Iranian governments escalate tensions in the already volatile Straits of Hormuz, and China and Russia begin openly questioning Washington’s interference in their internal politics, the world remains on a knife-edge of military tension. Far from being a dispassionate observer of these developments, however, the media has in fact been central to increasing those tensions and preparing the public to expect a military confrontation. But as the online media rises to displace the traditional forms by which the public forms its understanding of the world, many are now beginning to see first hand how the media lies the public into war.”

Bloomberg: “Libertarians Are The New Communists”

“Nick Hanauer & Eric Liu wrote an absurd piece in Bloomberg called ‘Libertarians are the New Communists.’  You might wonder how people get paid to write such ridiculous articles.  But then you realize that someone actually gets paid to bomb foreigners, steal en masse from the world via the monetary system, and regulate voluntary business out of the market.  Perhaps it is just the evil world in which we live.  Regardless, one still wonders if the authors of the Bloomberg piece actually believe in the claims that they make.”

The Rise of the Antiwar Libertarian Republicans

“If you’re among the majority of war-weary Americans who oppose any sort of military intervention in Syria, thank libertarian Republican lawmakers Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan.  If the House and Senate vote against authorizing war next week, the efforts by these two guys will have been instrumental. Indeed, their outspoken, principled pushback is part of the reason that President Barack Obama—the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner—hasn’t already pursued some sort of strike ‘just muscular enough not to get mocked‘ by the world while not inciting retaliation by Bashar al-Assad’s allies, Russia and Iran.”

Bill Bonner: When Gold Will Really Start to Glitter

“After telling readers how awful it was, now the mainstream press is back to neutral on gold. Barron’s recently ran an article titled ‘Gold Regains Its Glitter’.  Markets make opinions. Gold is up about 17% from its June low. Opinions on it are becoming more favourable.  But you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. The central banks of the major developed economies are engaged in massive debt monetization (aka ‘QE’).  If they all start to taper their bond buying, they risk resurrecting the calamity they’re trying to avoid – a deflationary depression (at least in their minds). So, they’ve got to keep going. The markets…and the economy…depend on it.  You wanna see something really glitter? Just wait! ”

Upside-Down Economic Reporting: Higher Oil Prices Are Good.

“I see. A war looms. Oil will rise in price. The world will pay more to oil-exporting national governments. This is proof of good times ahead. The rising trade deficit (an excess of imports) is good because it will lead to more exports. ‘At the same time, a strengthening U.S. expansion is helping companies in the European Union and China boost sales, which will stabilize global growth and, in turn, improve prospects for American exports.’ I see. Rising imports mean rising exports. Later. One of these days. Real Soon Now. And so it goes. Economic education marches forward.”

Investors (Suckers) Say They Have Things Under Control

“Today, 56% say they are confident about the future. This means that 44% aren’t confident. Today, 42% say they have increased their tax-deferred retirement savings. This means that 58% haven’t. Today, 55% say they are better prepared for retirement than in 2007. This means that 45% don’t think they are. Today, 42% have increased the size of their emergency fund. This means that 58% haven’t. We are asked to believe that people’s personal savings rate is up since November 2007, the month before the recession is said to have begun. Yes, it is — by a percentage so tiny that it is barely visible.”
