New Year's Madness NEWSFLASH!!! Breaking? Study Finds Fox News Viewers Are The Most Misinformed from TPM Live Wire, to wit: The study found that daily Fox News viewers, regardless of political party, were "significantly" more likely than non-viewers to erroneously believe that:

  • Most economists estimate the stimulus caused job losses (12 points more likely)
  • Most economists have estimated the health care law will worsen the deficit (31 points)
  • The economy is getting worse (26 points)
  • Most scientists do not agree that climate change is occurring (30 points)
  • The stimulus legislation did not include any tax cuts (14 points)
  • Their own income taxes have gone up (14 points)
  • The auto bailout only occurred under Obama (13 points)
  • When TARP came up for a vote most Republicans opposed it (12 points)
  • And that it is not clear that Obama was born in the United States (31 points)
The study also found that as exposure to Fox News increased, so did the misinformation. Once again, another poll that measures the effectiveness of propaganda! Haha! Thanks for stopping by for some REAL NEWS! Just ask the Brick TeeVee Crew for help if you're a recovering foxaholic. We're here because you're there. Remember last summer's WaPo "Top Secret America"? The latest installment is out! Monitoring America by Dana Priest & William M. Arkin @ WaPo. EIGHT BIG PAGES! Watch out Memphis! Search YOUR STATE to see which locales took in "antiterrierism" money at the "Top Secret" WaPo Map. Don't miss Cenk's interview with Julian Assange on MSNBC's Ratigan Show and news about PFC Bradley Manning at ArmyCourtmartialDefense.info Speaking of WL truth-out.com says WikiLeaks: US Ambassador Planned "Retaliation" Against France Over Ban on Monsanto Corn Meanwhile the 111th Congress stuck around long enough for the Senate approves New START treaty and help for 9/11 first responders (LAT), Net NON Neutrality Keep Fighting for Real Net Neutrality at FreePress.net and a new Food safety overhaul faces obstacles (WaPo) while NPR tells us what happens to all those electronic gizmos you got yesterday in After Dump, What Happens To Electronic Waste? Other than that not much happened last week! Oh and we hope you saw the Lunar Eclipse on the 2010 Winter Solstice! If you missed it you'll have to wait until 2094! Experts are saying the haul by retailers on Friday may have been the biggest this year! Heck we think Sunday will beat that, when everything gets marked down 50-80% before it goes back to the warehouse or the Big Lots and TJ MAXX's of the country! Happy Scavenging! The Brick TeeVee Crew hopes you had a safe Holiday Season so far but it's not quite over yet as we'll be ringing in 2011 with cheap bubbly and college bowl games! We'll see you next year!

  • This Week (ABC) with Christiane Amanpour
    Fact Checking ABC's "This Week" at NPR "On the Media" - Jake Tapper, interim host of ABC's "This Week," liked the idea of fact-checking his guests' comments, so he set up a partnership with Politifact, a non-partisan fact-checking organization.

    This Week on The Best of Ring of Fire! December 25th, 2010
    • Joining us for the BEST of Ring of Fire this week: Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, who will discuss the growing problem of home foreclosures in America, and he’ll tell us what he is doing to help solve this epidemic.
    • The brilliant and controversial author, Sam Harris, surveys the topography of right and wrong in his provocative new book, “The Moral Landscape,” – and you’ll be amazed at what he’s discovered.
    • Author Frank Schaeffer will give us the inside story on how the corporatist wing of the GOP managed to convince evangelical voters that major corporations are actually living the words of Jesus Christ better than political candidates.
    • And author Ari Berman will be here to talk about how the Democratic Party has abandoned the great organizing campaigns that Howard Dean crafted over the last few years, and why we won’t be able to win elections if we don’t reconstruct it.
    A special note: As David Bender announced he has decided to leave Ring of Fire at the end of the year in order to work on several new projects, including a book and a documentary film. This week we’ll be announcing our newest torch-bearer in the Ring of Fire – and you won’t want to miss the big news! (HINT: His name begins with Sam Seder! Check out his LIVE weekday podcast 11:30 am et @ Majority.fm! -Ed.)
    • You Can Listen to Ring of Fire on These Stations HERE.
    • VIDEO! Big Business Dupes Evangelicals Into Voting Republican Millions of American voters were duped during the midterm elections this year – most obviously the Religious Right voters. They had been told that they were voting for Republican candidates who wanted to take America back from the liberal class who were trying to turn America away from the fictitious religious roots that they believe America was founded on. Little did they know that the people behind this effort were billionaire industrialists and CEOs, who have no intention of bringing religion back to America – their only goal is to increase their profits. Mike Papantonio discusses how this all happened with Frank Schaeffer, author of the best-seller, “Crazy for God: How I Grew Up as One of the Elect, Helped Found the Religious Right, and Lived to Take All (or Almost All) of It Back.”

    Listen at Antiwar Radio
    Glenn Greenwald Dec 20, 2010: Glenn Greenwald, Salon.com blogger and former constitutional lawyer, discusses the inhumane detention conditions of accused WikiLeaks source Bradley Manning; eyewitness accounts of Manning’s deteriorating mental and physical condition; studies that show severe isolation has long term psychological consequences and is akin to torture; the government’s domestic “shock and awe” campaign of fear and intimidation against dissidents and whistleblowers; why Manning’s draconian imprisonment may be a negotiating tactic to coerce testimony against Julian Assange; and why the government is now considering conspiracy charges against Assange instead of using the problematic Espionage Act of 1917. LISTEN HERE (mp3) 21:16
    Gareth Porter Dec 23, 2010: Gareth Porter, independent historian and journalist for IPS News, discusses the increasingly brutal US tactics in the Kandahar offensive in Afghanistan including the razing of entire villages; how the US breaks self-imposed counterinsurgency rules when the going gets tough; the realization of mid-level officers and Petraeus himself that a tough new COIN strategy is as likely to fail as previous versions; and how the National Intelligence Estimates on Afghanistan and Pakistan reveal that US success in Afghanistan is wholly dependent on Pakistan’s rejection of the Taliban – which is exceedingly unlikely.

Solstice 2010 NOW is the time to reflect on the year past and plan for the coming year ahead. Exit Strategy anyone? The headlines below are but a snapshot of what happened JUST THIS WEEK but all are part of much larger stories. (Focus on COLEEN ROWLEY and GLENN GREENWALD this week.) The 112th Congress is going to be decidedly bat-shit crazy and the best we can hope for is stasis and gridlock. The Brick TeeVee Crew wishes everybody a Merry Solstice! We can't wait for the 2011 Year of the METAL WABBIT! According to Chinese tradition, the Rabbit brings a year in which you can catch your breath and calm your nerves. It is a time for negotiation. Don't try to force issues, because if you do you will ultimately fail. To gain the greatest benefits from this time, focus on home, family, security, diplomacy, and your relationships with women and children. Make it a goal to create a safe, peaceful lifestyle, so you will be able to calmly deal with any problem that may arise. Peace. wabbit1pancakewabbit1

    This Week on Ring of Fire Radio! December 17th, 2010
    • Stepping into the Ring of Fire this week: Congressman Alan Grayson will tell us about the closing days of the Democratic Congress and give us a forecast of what lies ahead when the GOP takes control in January.
    • The legendary Dick Cavett will be here to share the amazing stories from his new book, “Talk Show,” including behind-the scenes tales about everyone from Groucho Marx to John Lennon (Lennon & Marx?).
    • Author Jeff Goodell will be joining us to discuss how Massey Coal CEO Don Blankenship rose to power and quickly became one of the worst environmental polluters and union busters in America.
    • Author Ted Rall will tell us what lies in store for the American empire now that the fascists have almost completely taken over.
    A special note: As David Bender announced on last week’s show, he has decided to leave Ring of Fire at the end of the year in order to work on several new projects, including a book and a documentary film. This week we’ll be announcing our newest torch-bearer in the Ring of Fire – and you won’t want to miss the big news! (HINT: His name begins with Sam Seder! Check out his LIVE weekday podcast 11:30 am et @ Majority.fm! -Ed.)
    • You Can Listen to Ring of Fire on These Stations HERE.
    • VIDEO! Papantonio: Inheritance Babies Only Ones to Benefit from Tax Cut Mike Papantonio and Ed Schultz discuss the real winners of Obama’s tax compromise – The wealthy “inheritance babies.”
    • VIDEO! Papantonio: Sarah Palin – America’s New Queen Of Crazy Sarah Palin said that the tax compromise was “lousy.” Does this mean that she doesn’t want millionaires to pay less in taxes? Absolutely not. What it means is that she’s upset that working class Americans are getting anything at all out of the deal.

    Assange to BoA customers, ‘put your money somewhere safer.’ Given the fact that Assange is rumored to be releasing BoA franchise-killing documents I urge all to take his advice. by maxkeiser READ After BofA Escalates, Refuses To Process Wikileaks’ Payments, Wiki Retaliates, Advises Americans To Put Their Money “Somewhere Safer” MK: This is the third big ‘pull your money’ call in the last two years. We had the ‘move your money’ campaign by Huffington, the ‘run on the banks’ call by Eric Cantona and now the ‘BoA is about to get Wiki’d’ call from Assange. Let me reiterate something . . . Yes, of course, take out your money but you must then put it somewhere that will keep in permanently out of the banking system. There is really only one choice at this point: phyical silver held in a vault (or vaulting service, or an ETF other than SLV). I say Silver instead of Gold because the market for Silver is teeny (only 15 bn. is available) so by coordinating our efforts, we can all get stinkin rich at the expense of the corrupt bankers.

    Coleen Rowley Dec 17, 2010: Coleen Rowley, retired FBI agent and 9/11 whistleblower, discusses her work as Chief Division Counsel at the Minneapolis FBI office; how FBI headquarters acted criminally negligent in preventing agents from properly investigating Zacarias Moussaoui before 9/11; how sloppy FISA legislation created a wall within and between intelligence agencies; why government transparency benefits the public far more than excessive secrecy; and the deeply flawed Whistleblower Protection Act that fails to cover employees of the 16 US intelligence agencies. LISTEN HERE (mp3) 27:49
    Mike Gogulski Dec 17, 2010: Mike Gogulski, founder of the Bradley Manning Support Network, discusses the false rumor of Bradley Manning’s suicide; why the Cablegate documents look like dispatches to an emperor; the shortcoming in fundraising for Manning’s legal defense (due in part to WikiLeaks’ unfulfilled pledge); and fighting back against VISA, MasterCard, Amazon.com and other WikiLeaks suppressors through boycotts and cyber attacks.

    Anthony Gregory Dec 17, 2010: Anthony Gregory, Editor in Chief of Campaign for Liberty, discusses the partisan hypocrisy of Leftists who support Obama even though his presidency could just as well be Bush’s third term; the decimated ranks of activists opposed to the government’s “war on terror” premise; and how, every so often, someone takes the red pill and discovers the false paradigm of Republican/Democrat politics.

    Rob Prince Dec 17, 2010: Rob Prince, publisher of the Colorado Progressive Jewish News and lecturer at the University of Denver’s Josef Korbel School of International Studies, discusses the WikiLeaks Cablegate document that shows the Bush administration twisted Ethiopia’s arm to invade Somalia; how former Under Secretary of State for Africa Jendayi Frazer threw Ethiopia under the bus when the invasion turned sour; how the US used Ethiopia as a proxy army against the Union of Islamic Courts (presumably hated because of their name) while US forces were bogged down in Iraq and Afghanistan; why Condi Rice’s ignorance of world affairs (partly excepting Russia) is typical of American statesmen; how a respectable performance in Afghanistan could transform NATO into a worldwide police force; and the US search for a military foothold in Africa – preferably near the continent’s abundant mineral and energy resources.

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

FILIBERNIE! Independent Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont took to the Senate floor at 10:25 am on Friday and then put in a good full day's work on behalf of the people of Vermont and the United States, spending the next 8+ hours explaining why the Obama-Republican tax-cut "compromise" was such a disaster. He brought out charts, he read emails from struggling constituents, he explained how the O-R proposed "tax holiday" (it reduces the employee deduction to FICA AND the employer's matching fund by 2%) was a Trojan Horse to de-fund and ultimately kill Social Security, explained the bad trade policies that led us here and basically told it like it REALLY IS. From the Friends of Bernie website: At the end of the nearly nine hour speech, Bernie concluded, "If the American people stand up and say, we can do better than this, that we don’t need to drive up the national debt by giving tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires, that if the American people are prepared to stand – and we’re prepared to follow them – I think we can defeat this proposal. I think we can come up with a better proposal which better reflects the needs of the middle class and working families of our country and, to me, most importantly, the children of our country. And with that, Madam President, I would yield the floor." If you missed any of it you can watch it all at the C-SPAN Archives site HERE and the full transcript is on Bernie's Senate website HERE. While all this was going on Commander-in-Absence Obama called in BILL CLINTON for a presser and then announced "I have to go to a holiday party" and left Big Dawg to deal with the press for another 30 minutes! Flashback to 1999! While Julian Assange is still in a London jail awaiting charges and/or extradition to Sweden (see update from his atty below) web group "Anonymous" began Denial-of-Service attacks against Visa, Mastercard, PayPal and others who have closed down donation channels to wkikleaks. We get from GeekOSystem.com Anonymous Posts Video Describing “Operation Payback” In Defense Of WikiLeaks Now, in eerie and awesome fashion, a new video has been posted that describes Anon’s agenda in the most historic terms. with the video! You can read their latest "press release" in PDF form ANON OPS: A Press Release December 10, 2010. Across the pond folks aren't so happy with the attacks on Assange. Steve Erlanger @ NYT explains in Europeans Criticize Fierce U.S. Response to Leaks, "While the Obama Administration has done nothing in the courts to block the publication of any of the leaked documents, or even, as of yet, tried to indict WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange for any crime, American officials and politicians have been widely condemned in the European news media for calling the leaks everything from “terrorism” (Rep. Peter T. King, Rep.-New York) to “an attack against the international community” (Secretary of State Hillary Clinton)." Stateside most of the punditry and even some lawmakers are still calling for Assange's head, even though he has not been charged with any crime although ERIC HOLDER claimed "We are looking at all the things we can do to try to stem the flow of this information." (Salon). What it boils down to is a First Amendment protection of free speech of the press, since wikileaks and specifically Assange are only REPORTING the information they've been given from "leakers" of unknown origin. If Washington can silence wikileaks then they can (and should, by their logic) silence the New York Times for publishing the wikileaks docs. H/T Maddy for these related items worth your time! Robert Scheer: From Jefferson to Assange, Ian Welsh: Why Assange and Wikileaks have won this round, Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey, Pravda: Assange, Pinochet, Wikileaks: Prosecution or Persecution?. Freakin PRAVDA!! We go to The Blueprint at FutureStreetConsulting who ably point out "It’s this triviality which has angered those in power. The mythology of power – that leaders are somehow more substantial, their concerns more elevated and lofty than us mere mortals, who must not question their motives – that mythology has been definitively busted. This is the final terminus of aristocracy; a process that began on 14 July 1789 came to a conclusive end on 28 November 2010. The new aristocracies of democracy have been smashed, trundled off to the guillotine of the Internet, and beheaded." An emailer to Malloy pointed out (paraphrasing) "Compare the JA case with VALERIE PLAME's. People DID DIE when her cover was exposed for the Middle East CIA front company "Brewster Jennings". " In this light the WH Limo picks up Senior White House Advisor DAVID AXELROD for appearances on This Anampour, Face the Bob and State of the Candy to tell anyone who'll listen that Bill Clinton is NOT the president again, giving the top 0.3% a tax cut that will add BILLIONS to the debt is a GOOD THING and they'll get that rat-bastard Assange just like they did OBL! Catch Paul Krugman on This Anampout to tell GEORGE WILL he needs a haicut. The WH Scooter takes WH Econ "Advisor" AUSTIN GOOLSBEE to Meet the David to counter everything Bernie said in 8+ hours into easily-digestible sound-bite bullshit. Look for HOWARD DEAN and JERRY NADLER on FTN too. Save all yer bricks for OrangeMan JOHN "Crybaby" BOEHNER on 60 Minutes where he will tell America "Tax cuts create Jobs!" BWAAAHAHAAA! Plenty of GOOD STUFF below so click on ANYTHING and you'll be instantly smarter! And get a cool MAX KEISER Silver 1-oz. coin too! The Brick TeeVee Crew is hunkering down for a giant snow storm alleged to last from Sunday night to some time Wednesday: food -check, beer -check, whiskey -check. Stay warm and have a great week!

  • Meet the Press (NBC) Host David Gregory
    Meet the Facts at NPR "On the Media" - Last December, NYU professor Jay Rosen proposed something simple yet revolutionary: why don't the Sunday morning chat shows fact check their guests?

    JP Morgan and HSBC are lying to regulators.

In the presence of EXTREME money printing, it’s understandable why Central Banks and governments would want to suppress the price of gold [and silver] and be less than transparent about their nefarious activity in this regard. Knowledge and detail regarding these activities could undermine a nations’ currency, their credit rating and thus their ability to service their sovereign debt. ~snip~ and more at link!

    Listen at Antiwar Radio
    James Bovard Dec 9, 2010: James Bovard, author of Attention Deficit Democracy, discusses the Obama administration’s claim that they have the right to kill American citizens without a trial, without notice, and without any chance for targets to legally object; the unfortunate American tendency toward blind deference to the law even (and especially) when it is unjust; how George W. Bush was given a GOP standing ovation as a reward for trashing the Constitution; and why the WikiLeaks issue is an excellent yardstick for measuring a person’s dedication to freedom and individual liberty. LISTEN HERE (mp3) 20:01
    Gareth Porter Dec 10, 2010: Gareth Porter, independent historian and journalist for IPS News, discusses the dominant (and false) narrative of MSM coverage of WikiLeaks‘ Cablegate; why a US war with Iran is not justified simply because some Arab rulers (in complete opposition to their citizens) say they are threatened by Iran’s nuclear program; how the New York Times dutifully and predictably spins the news to promote the US government’s agenda; why King Abdullah’s line on “cutting off the head” of the Iranian snake is probably nothing more than sycophantic bluster; the deep concerns of other Gulf state leaders on military action against Iran; and why US-Iran talks are certainly doomed (if they weren’t already) in this environment. HERE (mp3) 17:34
    Charles Goyette Dec 10, 2010: Charles Goyette, former Antiwar Radio co-contributor and author of The Dollar Meltdown : Surviving the Impending Currency Crisis with Gold, Oil, and Other Unconventional Investments, discusses Ben Bernanke’s 60 Minutes interview where he declares (with lip-quivering certitude) a “100 percent confidence” the Fed can control inflation; how the Fed filled up on bad assets full of “mystery meat” in their quantitative easing program(s); Republican deficit reduction plans that will be decimated from even a minuscule increase in interest rates; the crisis in fiat money as most of the world’s currencies are debased relative to hard assets; and why Americans are still asleep at the switch while their government actively destroys the economy. LISTEN HERE (mp3) 37:57
    Robert Stinnett Dec 10, 2010: Robert Stinnett, author of Day of Deceit: The Truth about FDR and Pearl Harbor, discusses how FDR provoked and allowed the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in order to rally the American people to support US entry in WWII; the provocative McCollum memo that proposed an 8-part strategy to isolate and weaken Japan; new evidence that shows Admiral Kimmel was indeed privy to FDR’s plans; and how – despite what some skeptics say – the Japanese naval and diplomatic codes were broken before the Pearl Harbor attack.

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

CABLE-GATE Julian Assange, founder of wikileaks, is somewhere in the UK (according to his attorney - see DN! below) and is laying low due to death threats. The previous two wikileaks releases on Iraq and Afghanistan did not garner anywhere NEAR the attention and the ensuing worldwide "manhunt" plus all the death threats from all sorts of government pols. Why is that? Glenn Greenwald tries to explain in WikiLeaks reveals more than just government secrets: The WikiLeaks disclosure has revealed not only numerous government secrets, but also the driving mentality of major factions in our political and media class. Simply put, there are few countries in the world with citizenries and especially media outlets more devoted to serving, protecting and venerating government authorities than the U.S. ... That Assange should be treated as a "traitor" and murdered with no due process has been strongly suggested if not outright urged by the likes of Marc Thiessen, Seth Lipsky (with Jeffrey Goldberg posting Lipsky's column and also illiterately accusing Assange of "treason"), Jonah Goldberg, Rep. Pete King, and, today, The Wall Street Journal. The way in which so many political commentators so routinely and casually call for the eradication of human beings without a shred of due process is nothing short of demented. ... It's one thing for the Government to shield its conduct from public disclosure, but it's another thing entirely for the U.S. media to be active participants in that concealment effort. ... Nonetheless, our government and political culture is so far toward the extreme pole of excessive, improper secrecy that that is clearly the far more significant threat. And few organizations besides WikiLeaks are doing anything to subvert that regime of secrecy, and none is close to its efficacy. It's staggering to watch anyone walk around acting as though the real threat is from excessive disclosures when the impenetrable, always-growing Wall of Secrecy is what has enabled virtually every abuse and transgression of the U.S. government over the last two decades at least. Also in Greenwald's analysis is a video of NYT's Executive Editor BILL KELLER who "was denied access to the documents by WikiLeaks this time but received them from The Guardian." and actually asked the WH what parts they were okay'd to publish! Can you say "LAP DOG"? Even crazier, an email from the U.S. State Dept. was allegedly sent to students at the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University which it now denies (CBS News). And TPMMuckraker reports White House Tells All Federal Agencies To Prohibit Unauthorized Employees From Wikileaks Site. Hullabaloo's digby in Unhooking The Networks points to Julian Assange and the Computer Conspiracy; “To destroy this invisible government” by zunguzungu who ferrets out this gem: But Assange is not trying to produce a journalistic scandal which will then provoke red-faced government reforms or something, precisely because no one is all that scandalized by such things any more. Instead, he is trying to strangle the links that make the conspiracy possible, to expose the necessary porousness of the American state’s conspiratorial network in hopes that the security state will then try to shrink its computational network in response, thereby making itself dumber and slower and smaller. And it seems with Cable-gate Assange has certainly hit a BIG nerve of this "conspiracy". Here are a few more items you MUST check out: WikiLeaks Honduras: State Dept. Busted on Support of Coup @ HuffPo; Bolivia: WikiLeaks documents confirm that US spied on Bolivia@ earthtimes.org; Why WikiLeaks Is Good for Democracy by: Bill Quigley, t r u t h o u t | Op-ed. Do your own research at Guardian UK The US Embassy Cables. As of this writing you can find it all at wikileaks.ch on a server in Switzerland after Amazon.com stops hosting WikiLeaks on its servers (WaPo). Once again, WHY the HUGE and VIOLENT ordeal over THESE leaks? Hmmmm? Catch GENERAL WESLEY CLARK supporting 'DADT' on This Anampour and direct bricks at maximum neolib Tri Lateral Commission founder ZBIGNEW BRZENINSKI on the Roundtable. DICK DURBIN tells JON KYL "you hate poor people" on Face the Bob while Meet the David hosts the dynamic duo JOHN KERRY and uber-regressive MITCH "DEFEAT THE PRESIDENT" MCCONNELL.

  • Meet the Press (NBC) Host David Gregory
    Meet the Facts at NPR "On the Media" - Last December, NYU professor Jay Rosen proposed something simple yet revolutionary: why don't the Sunday morning chat shows fact check their guests?

    • Steve Clemons from the New America Foundation will be joining us to discuss President Obama’s foreign policy objectives, as well as give us some insight into the Wikileaks controversy making headlines.
    • We’ll speak with Lee Fang from Think Progress about how the US Supreme Court is in bed with some of the creepiest and most extreme right wing organizations in America.

    • And political satirist Matt Filipowicz will be here to talk about how the media is attempting to humanize Republican monsters, and try to make us feel sympathy and compassion for the people who helped destroy our country.
    • You Can Listen to Ring of Fire on These Stations HERE.
    • VIDEO! The Fight to Rebuild the Democratic Party and Reshape American Politics During the 2004 primary season, Howard Dean put together a grassroots movement that forever changed American politics. This strategy was used by the Democrats to make huge gains in both the 2006 and 2008 elections. But just days after Barack Obama won the presidential election, this grassroots movement was disbanded and disowned by the Democratic Party, and the coalition of activists that had helped put the party in power were now being kicked out. Mike Papantonio talks with Ari Berman, author of the new book “Herding Donkeys,” who says that the Democrats will not be able to win again if they don’t embrace the movement that Dean created.
    • VIDEO! The Pap Attack: A Psychiatric Evaluation of Obama Obama did not grow up wearing expensive tailored suits, playing golf, with a pass into every ultra-exclusive social club on the planet. There was a day when he walked around in tattered jeans without enough money to pay a cab fare. What most of us missed in our hopes about our Obama mirage was that once he made it into those exclusive clubs, he would close the door behind him and never look back.

    Maxonomics 101: The 3 ‘flations.’ by maxkeiser READ U.S. Economy: Payroll Gains Trail Forecasts; Unemployment Rises @ bloomberg.com. In keeping with my ongoing series on Maxonomics – the above headline is another example of the Fed seeing ‘deflation’ and job loss as an excuse to flood the economy with cash and credit via the banking system – that channels that liquidity to their top clients who buy assets (PM’s, stocks, bonds, commodities) as part of their parallel inflationary universe. Since the price of energy and food are dragged up along with PM’s, stocks, bonds and commodities, the bottom 99% suffer the stagflation of rising food and energy without any rise in wages or return on their pensions – due to the constant debasing of the Dollar due to the perpetual increase in money supply – that is getting vacuumed up by the top 1% who buy assets with it. This is the ongoing saga of the 3 flations. If you’re in the top 1% you see inflation. If you are in the bottom 99% you see stagflation and if you are an Ivy League schooled economist (Bernanke) whose school is endowed by the top 1% you blindly see deflation – and hit the print button all day.
