Dr. Doom: Capitalism Could Fail Like Communism Economy (Global)By: CNBC.com | 15 May 2009 | 08:33 AM ET A sustainable recovery will occur only when the corporate system will be cleaned of losses and capitalism risks collapsing if this does not happen, Marc Faber, the author of "The Gloom, Boom & Doom Report," told CNBC Friday. The central banks will continue to print money at full speed, but long-term this strategy will lead to a fall in purchasing power and living standards, especially in developed countries, Faber said. >> Watch Faber's full interview here << The years 2006 and 2007...

EC interviews NYC radio legend Barry Farber, whose recent article asking "Where's the birth certificate?" (posted below) is creating quite a stir. You may know Barry from his stints subbing for Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity, and his show was rated one of the top ten all-time by Talkers Magazine recently. Is this a sign that the conservative contingent of the mainstream media may be waking up and starting to ask the question millions think but only a few dare to ask?

Palin Is Unstoppable Tuesday, September 16, 2008 12:52 PM By: Barry Farber Article Font Size It's not just McCain's "bold choice." It's not just a hot hormone shot square into the gutwork of the Republican Party. The selection of Sarah Palin is much, much more. Director Darryl F. Zanuck's 1962 film, "The Longest Day," about the Normandy invasion, got nowhere near the acclaim of Steven Spielberg's, "Saving Private Ryan," filmed thirty-six years later, but one scene in that Zanuck movie ricochets in my recollection even now. Early on the morning of June 6, 1944, a German soldier woke up, sang...

Lance Farber, the fire-starting, tomato-tossing boyfriend of new San Francisco Planning Director John Rahaim, is out of jail - but only after the city took him to the cleaners. Farber, who had been sitting in jail for almost six weeks on $1 million bail, pleaded guilty last week to one count of unlawfully and recklessly starting a fire and one count of vandalism with over $400 in damage. The 47-year-old New Age chiropractor was accused of setting a bed on fire and tossing an open can of tomatoes through the city's historic fire chief's house - staining the walls -...

Last week I attended a dinner hosted by Mark Anderson, CEO of the Strategic News Service. Mark looks at the future of computing and communications in his newsletter and annual conference. During his remarks at dinner, Mark talked about 21st century pyramids, referring to the super datacenters Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Yahoo and others are building in energy-friendly territories. "The guys are building the pyramids, but they don't know what for. Is it for searching? No. An Internet Assistant delivered on a custom basis that tells us how to run our business and lives–how to get an edge is the ultimate...

New Jersey's attorney general resigned Tuesday after a special prosecutor concluded she violated state ethics laws by intervening in a traffic stop involving her boyfriend. Zulima Farber, who will step down at the end of the month, said she is leaving office "out of respect for the governor" and not because she was asked to do so. "I admit to being human and making that error. I am truly sorry and apologize to all New Jerseyans for that mistake," said Farber, who appeared at a Statehouse news conference alongside Gov. Jon S. Corzine. Farber's live-in boyfriend, lawyer Hamlet Goore, was...

INDIANA BAT RINGWOOD -- Ford's toxic waste dump may be home to a tiny newcomer, posing a big problem for neighbors seeking a speedy cleanup.  The Indiana bat, a nationally listed endangered species, may be in the area. And that has interrupted tree clearing at the dump even though residents say the contamination is making them ill and should be removed as soon as possible.  Wildlife personnel are investigating whether the bats, which winter in mines and summer in the bark of large trees, are living at the Upper Ringwood site."We realize some work has stopped and we understand...

TRENTON -- New Jersey's leading law enforcement official on Thursday said she opposes legislation that would require jail time for public officials convicted of corruption and strip away their retirement benefits. Attorney General Zulima V. Farber told the Senate Judiciary Committee during a discussion on her plan to fight public corruption that judges should have leeway to decide prison terms and whether pensions should be forfeited. "I oppose mandatory sentencing," Farber said. Farber said her office would instead seek "harsh penalties" for officials convicted of corruption. She also raised constitutional questions about forcing convicted officials to forgo publicly funded retirement...

A veteran Fairview police officer voided traffic summonses he wrote to the boyfriend of state Attorney General Zulima Farber after she showed up at the scene, sources with knowledge of the incident said Thursday. The U.S. Attorney's Office has been contacted about the matter for possible review, a law enforcement source said late Thursday. Meanwhile, an internal investigation is continuing in the borough, the sources said. Farber confirmed late Thursday that she was at the scene, but denied using any influence to help her boyfriend. According to three sources, borough Detective Albert Napolitano pulled over a 1995 Oldsmobile van driven...

Out of Control AIDS and the corruption of medical science Posted on Friday, April 7, 2006. Originally from Harper's Magazine, March 2006. By Celia Farber. Joyce Ann Hafford was a single mother living alone with her thirteen-year-old son, Jermal, in Memphis, Tennessee, when she learned that she was pregnant with her second child. She worked as a customer service representative at a company called CMC Call Center; her son was a top student, an athlete and musician. In April 2003, Hafford, four months pregnant, was urged by her obstetrician to take an HIV test. She agreed, even though she...

Last week, the new governor-elect Jon Corzine, was busy at work putting together the members of his new cabinet. Nothing he did signifies more the kind of radical left-wing agenda this elitist millionaire has in store for the deluded voters of New Jersey than the nomination - or rather cornonation - of Zulima Farber as his State Attorney General. According to the New Jersey Star-Ledger, Ms. Zulima, a one-time refugee from Castro's slave camp in the Carribean, learned little from her negative experiences there. If anything, she may have been taking notes. Ms. Farber is an outspoken supporter of strict...

After apologizing for her shaky driving record, defending her opposition to mandatory criminal sentences and vowing to assail government corruption, Zulima Farber moved closer yesterday to becoming the state's next attorney general, a position considered vital to Gov. Jon Corzine's ethics reform plans. (snip) Yesterday's step came after a four-hour hearing during which Farber told senators she would "probably require psychoanalysis" to detail how, since 1974, she received 12 speeding tickets, three driver's license suspensions and a bench warrant for failing to appear in court and pay a fine. "I'm not perfect, none of us are, and I know very...

Walter Pincus, a 71-year-old Washington Post reporter who has earned the respect and envy of his colleagues for the government contacts he has cultivated in more than 30 years at the paper, walked into a conference room at a Washington law firm two weeks ago and read a statement. "As someone who covers national security and intelligence, I depend on confidential sources more than most reporters," he told Patrick J. Fitzgerald, the special prosecutor appointed to investigate the disclosure to journalists of the identity of a covert C.I.A. agent, Valerie Plame. "My sources take a chance when they trust me...
