Back in the late 1920's the Federal Reserve reduced the money supply (for their own reasons that probably sounded good at the time) and the result was a loss of liquidity and the Great Depression.

Totally false. The Fed caused the depression be increasing the money supply over a period of years.

The SUCKING SOUND. Perot was right. We have gone straight down the tubes since Nafta and the WTO.

I don't hear much about American capital being poured into Nazi Germany and thus not available here. (Note to George Norry of CoastToCoastAM: Prescott Bush was not the only one.)

"The relationship of Ford and GM to the Nazi regime goes back to the 1920s and 1930s, when the American car companies competed against each other for access to the lucrative German market. Hitler was an admirer of American mass production techniques . . . ."

Sound familiar? Deng admired American mass production techniques also.

Will our corporations help the Red China Communists if they go to war against us as this article alleges the corporations helped the Nazis? That's beside the question of our capital being poured into Germany in the 1930s -- and now it's being poured into Red China among other places.

I doubt that China is going to have civil war anytime soon. This is for the simple reason that the typical Chinese likes the central government.

They don’t like the regional and local governments, however. The theme you see over and over in the protests is that the regional and local governments are violating national law. The protesters are trying to get the attention of the national government, to get them to force the regional and local governments to obey the national law.

But the central government sees the protests, not the subordinate governments misbehavior, as the problem.
