FTR #746 Greek Tragedy

Urged to “aus­ter­ity,” Greece’s adop­tion of Ger­man pre­scrip­tions made its sit­u­a­tion worse; trapped by the Euro, Greece can nei­ther revalue its cur­rency nor impose tar­iffs to pro­tect domes­tic indus­try; GOP pro­poses the same medecine for the U.S. that Ger­many pre­scribed for Greece.

FTR #744 The Shape of Things to Come

Pan­ul­ti­mate exam­ple of “off­shore,” the seasted­ding move­ment sees “free­dom and democ­racy” as incom­pat­i­ble. Those left on shore must accept dis­so­lu­tion of pri­vacy, free­dom and, yes, democ­racy. Hedge fund man­agers buy­ing up all arable land in antic­i­pa­tion of eco­nomic and social armageddon.

The Wolverine State Is Going to the Dogs

GOP blue­prints for fas­cism, mar­tial law in Michi­gan antic­i­pate that party’s agenda for the rest of the coun­try. “Fis­cal aus­ter­ity” equals fas­cism and the imple­men­ta­tion of the cor­po­rate state.

FTR #737 Taqqiya Sunrise, Part II: Turkish Taffy (More on the Rolling Coups in the Middle East)

A sug­ary con­fec­tion, the “mod­er­a­tion” of Mus­lim Broth­er­hood should be taken with a grain of salt; Turk­ish Islamism masks jihadist ele­ments; transna­tional cor­po­ra­tions and asso­ci­ated intel­li­gence ser­vices dis­sem­i­nat­ing this “Turk­ish Taffy.”

BOHICA, pt. 4: Are Junk Bond Yields Signalling another Meltdown?

Junk bond yields at a record low, bod­ing ill for the global econ­omy. The low yields for junk bonds mean that bor­row­ing costs for busi­nesses have nowhere to go but up. That is NOT good news.
