Mexico: A Country in Crisis / Politics / Mexico

By: Global_Research

Mexico is grieving after more than 38 toddlers perished in a fire at a pre school day care centre in Hermosillo on Friday (05/06/09). But perhaps even worse for some fanatical football fans the national team lost 2 to 1 in a World Cup qualifying match to El -Salvador over the weekend. It seems only appropriate that as I write this piece, the national university’s philharmonic is performing that mournful choral work by Anton Dvorak his “Sabat Mater”. This might be a musical remedy to sooth the wounded pride of a nation, already battered by a constant barrage of bad news lately. Most recently by the devastation and fall out from the H1N1 epidemic and as well an economic collapse and now more unfathomable losses befall the nation.

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleIs it possible to make hundreds of billions of dollars in profits on securities that are backed by nothing more than cyber-entries into a loan book? It's not only possible; it's been done. And now the scoundrels who cashed in on the swindle have lined up outside the Federal Reserve building to trade their garbage paper for billions of dollars of taxpayer-funded loans.

Mealy Mouthed Caroline Flint Quits Browns Government, Statement / Politics / UK Politics

By: Nadeem_Walayat

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe reason why voters view MP's as being mealy mouthed, full of self interest with little real interest in doing what is best for those that elected them was made clear by Caroline Flints behaviour (Minister for Europe) and statements over the past 24 hours where comments of support for Gordon Brown a little over 12 hours ago were replaced by a vicious attack on Gordon Browns Premiership after she failed to get her way in terms of promotion within the cabinet.

President Obama's Speech in Cairo, Egypt, Transcript and Video / Politics / Middle East

By: Submissions

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThank you very much. Good afternoon. I am honored to be in the timeless city of Cairo, and to be hosted by two remarkable institutions. For over a thousand years, Al-Azhar has stood as a beacon of Islamic learning; and for over a century, Cairo University has been a source of Egypt's advancement. And together, you represent the harmony between tradition and progress. I'm grateful for your hospitality, and the hospitality of the people of Egypt. And I'm also proud to carry with me the goodwill of the American people, and a greeting of peace from Muslim communities in my country: Assalaamu alaykum. (Applause.)

Fun to watch that baby smoke and burn!  Pictures of barbeque ribs, fresh pork sausage, and those luscious heavily loaded pork sandwiches.  Of course there remains the tea, beans, and home made fresh cut Idaho fries.  That’s a real depiction of the American lifestyle, huh?  Freedom to stuff our stomachs and enjoy our time off as we please.

Frankenstein Corporations Avoiding Liability / Politics / US Politics

By: Global_Research

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleRalph Nader writes: Once upon a time early in the 19th century, corporations came into existence by state legislatures approving charters, which were granted for a limited period of time and for limited purposes. These corporations - producing textiles and other products in New England - raised capital in part because their investors had limited liability. That meant they could not lose any more than their investment if things went wrong.

The Socialist Bailout of Wall Street / Politics / Credit Crisis Bailouts

By: LewRockwell

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleJacob G. Hornberger writes: The massive federal bailout of U.S. financial firms reflects everything that’s wrong with the economic system of welfare and interventionism under which the United States has operated since at least the 1930s. There are critically important lessons in the bailout that the American people ignore at their peril. While most politicians and mainstream pundits are viewing the bailout as a necessary “reform,” it is imperative that we place this “reform” in a much wider and deeper context. In doing so, we need to return to first principles.
