Ron Paul and Dwight D. Eisenhower - True Patriots by Jim Quinn; If as a country we continue to allow our politicians and their military industrial complex corporate sponsors to spend $700+ billion per year on weapons, to the detriment of higher education, alternative energy projects, and national infrastructure needs...as deficits accumulate, the dollar plummets, and inflation rears its ugly head, our great country will decline as other empires who overstepped their bounds declined"

Between The Lines > Inside Bernanke's Brain - The Fed's Response To The Crisis
Between The Lines > Inside Bernanke's Brain - The Fed's Response To The Crisis, by Aaron Krowne; "Fed doesnt actually control rates, at least not directly. It only sets a TARGET"; "in times of great distress (as now), the rates can get away from the Feds grasp, and it becomes important to distinguish. Specifically, if the Fed were to try to force the funds rate up to the 4.5% target while they were naturally trading around 3%, they would actually have to WITHDRAW liquidity from the system, causing a catastrophic deflationary spiral."

Money Matters: World Elite Rats Destroy U.S. Sovereignty
by Elaine Meinel Supkis; in comments: "people can't credit a handful of intelligent and very directed and motivated people who desire to launch a war...The 'leaders' mill around, hoping for excuses to draw the sword and attack. But the sort of people who launched the 9/11 attacks were classic in their organization and the way they carried out their plans. The US contribution was to ignore them, not interfere with them and to let them do as the attackers wished. The DESIRE of Bush for an attack was very great."
