Does "white collar crime" include the FBI HRT poisoning 86 people with CS gas before incinerating them?

In the name of globalism we have also sent our manufacturing and engineering base outside our borders while we import H1-B hi-tech workers. At the same time our political class has refused to halt illegal immigration.

good question; lies have become pervasive; there have been professional economists even question the government's statistics concerning unemployment and inflation. Because lies have become pervasive.

The Clinton Legacy can be summed up in just two words:
Irrational Exuberance.
To: christine11
For what it's worth, I think much of the problem is due to the "new morality" of the sixties. As long as you have the right views on race, class, and gender, you can do pretty much whatever you want. Clinton was a typical example of the new morality run amok. As we saw, outfits like NARAL and NOW and the NAACP, and all the politically correct media whores, pretty much gave him a free ride as long as he kept to the bottom line of their peculiar vision of what's right and what's wrong. Namely, mouthing pious platitudes, while supporting an unlimited right to abortion and sexual perversion.
Truth, honor, loyalty to country, and the Ten Commandments were no longer relevant. There was nothing wrong with making piles of money any way you chose, as long as your politics were correct.

How can anyone who calls the current economy a "depression" expect to be taken seriously?
To answer that question I read the rest of Mr. Smith's commentary and found the answer is: He doesn't.

look carefully at what our 'leaders' are doing now.
They're intervening into currency markets on a large scale and bullying other nations to do the same to prop up the US dollar. They are doing this to protect the investment portfolios of upper income americans. But by intervening as they are, they sandbag businesses inside america that have staked their strategy on producing inside of america. If the dollar is artificially high and kept artificially high over long periods of time by this type of intervention, then american businesses that produce inside of america won't be able to compete in a global marketplace. Then we will be told that we can't compete because we are fat lazy americans.
The american elite is drunk with power, they have an unwise intolerance for sensible tariffs that can protect the american productive capacity. But then they intervene into the currency markets, going directly against their stated loyalty to capitalist ideology. In both cases the result is to degrade american capacity to produce in order to protect the interests of the upper class.
They seek to hold it all together by their exercise of raw power over the world's banking industry. It is a dangerous path.

From the editorial:
"....And now, those who implemented and supported the criminal illusion boldly march to the forefront in condemning the illusion with mock anger and mock righteous indignation. Their arrogant hypocrisy documents their contempt for we the people of the United States. Our Hobbesian leaders treat us as mindless sheeple to be fleeced and financially butchered in our stock markets for their gladitorial amusement and financial gain. Greenspan, Clinton and Bush are practicing disciples of Thomas Hobbes; and, the primary financial butchers of the American people..."
Our leaders are corrupt!
To: Cicero
The night Clinton addressed the joint congress and made the statement that the US was destined for years of surplus, because of the robust economy, nearly everyone applauded with a round of ovation. Everyone was delerious with joy as "good times" were here again and going to stay.
Any sane person would have stood and booed the man. Now overnight, instead of a robust economy we have a "bust" economy. Republicans as well as democrats bought into Clintons snake oil stock. Shame on all of them.

They only move out to escape a socialist economy here for a more free market in "communist" China. Listen to Rush he is almost never wrong.

Thanks for the ping! I talked to my 401(k) broker today & told him to shift a % into a precious metals fund. For the first time in eight years, he didn't argue with me.
To: SteamshipTime
Brokers are basically just salesmen they rarely argue with any transaction you wish to make.

Real conservative blame the rich for everything(sarcasm). Around 1900 when we were a free market country they did run things politically as well as economically but since then they lost political influence by the late 60's they lost nearly all political influence. They had a brief resurgence under Reagan in the 80's but they have little power now. The media elite with the aid of the brainwashed socialist mob runs things now.

Jeremiah 6:16 "Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein." Perhaps more relevant than ever!

I don't think Hobbes was a socialist are leaders are socialist Rousseau disciples. No actually they are just liars and thieves.

True so far as it goes, but also like virtually all [stock]brokers, he is biased towards equities.
To: SteamshipTime
Do they make bigger commisions on those?
