For a brief period, the New York Times added a column to their best-seller book list. It identified the percentage of people who finished reading the book. As I recall, the outright winner for lowest percentage was Umberto Eco’s Name of the Rose with only 6%. It is an excellent and fascinating book if you […]

Those in the Western media too busy to be bothered trying to understand the complexities, intricacies and nuances of the Middle East often resort to concluding nearly all conflicts there are some kind of "proxy war" between Saudi Arabia and Iran. This is usually out of ignorance, reducing disputes to the lowest common dominator of … Continue reading "There Is No Proxy War in Yemen"

The Trumpist Regime is working on p.r. with the Saudis to come up with a sanitized version of what happened to Jamal Khashoggi. Remember way back on Tuesday when Trump bellowed, "For the record, I have no financial interests in Saudi Arabia (or Russia, for that matter).

La présentatrice d’une émission de France-Culture, Mme Julie de la Brosse, m’a proposé de venir présenter mon « livre de chevet » en économie dans Entendez-vous l’Eco. A vrai dire, des livres que je lis et relis et qui m’ont marqués, il y en a plusieurs. Le choix était difficile. Il m’a conduit à jeter un regard rétrospectif sur mon itinéraire intellectuel. Ce dernier a été largement marqué par l’étude de l’économie soviétique, puis par celle de la transition et par celle de l’économie russe[1].

As it’s been pointed out by a multitude of experts from both the US and other regions of the world, a barrage of attacks with the goal of eroding Washington’s hegemony at the energy trading market will be one of the main battlefields where the future of America’s economic dominance will be decided.

I want to be blunt here.. Has America gone insane?  Every day, I find more and more "reports" coming over the Jew spew media outlets and even across the alternative media about how fucked up America has become thanks to the brain dead "liberals" out there and their stupidly moronic and insane actions...  On top of that, we find the entire nation now being strangled by all of the bullshit "women do not lie" rhetoric that has gripped (and ruined) the nation and has actually worked against women and their rights!

MEMO | October 18, 2018 There have been remarks in Israel recently expressing disappointment at Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman’s performance regarding the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. This does not stem from his bloody repression of his opponents, but from the fact that this policy has reduced Israel’s ability to rely on him […]

Bankster by Nancy OhanianI admit, I was one of the people complaining that Congressional Progressive Caucus members didn't spend enough time and energy raising money-- which had a lot to do with why Pelosi didn't take them seriously and wound up helping the New Dems take over the caucus.

Many people have requested analyses of games over the years, but for a long time I didn’t see the proper venue for doing that, as videos take a long time to produce.  Now that streaming is popular, the process is much easier.  Since we are in a time of censorship, I also want to branch out to have more options to live stream and Twitch works very well.

While Washington is in a frenzy over the apparent Saudi government murder of a Saudi Washington Post journalist, little attention is being paid to news that the United Arab Emirates hired an “guns for hire” company founded by an Israeli-American to assassinate members of a political party in Yemen. Pentagon and CIA trained special operations troops were used to carry out the assassinations, including a plan to blow up the party’s headquarters building.

Very few voters give a damn about the shitload of crap candidates the DCCC has recruited from coast to coast. The only thing worse than the garbage candidates the DCCC has manufactured-- from ex-CIA spy Abigail Spanberger, who uses Trump talking points in her vomit-inducing anti-immigrant ad, to "ex"-Republican multimillionaires on the West Coast-- are their dreadful Republican opponents.

Two days ago, I released part I of an expose put out by the "Truth About Cancer" website, at www.truthaboutcancer.com, that talked about the different theories through out the years about what actually causes Cancer.....

The apparent murder of US-based Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi within the premises of the Saudi embassy in Turkey has sparked days of outrage, threats, debate, and conspiracy theory. From everything we’ve been told, he was probably murdered within the Saudi embassy: the surface-level narrative says it was probably on account of him being an open […]

Over the last several weekends, the nonprofit, Boston-based brokerage Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America (NACA) partnered with big banks and hosted events all across the country, attracting tens of thousands of attendees.

The Congressional Budget Office just released a Monthly Budget Review showing a $782 billion deficit for the 2018 fiscal year.
My recommendation is to mostly ignore data on red ink. Yes, it is possible that a country can get in trouble because of deficits and debt, but it’s far more important to look at what’s happening with government spending.
